I recently lost a project i was working on, the excel document i had was used for cataloging and accessing a set of data files. I got a horrible virus yesterday and subsequently lost all my workbooks. I think part of the reason i got the virus is because i had macros enabled, either way i am looking for a better way now.
Is it possible to create a access program that will allow me to.
-Enter a section for a file.
-Enter a name for the file.
-Add the file to the database.
And then allow me to either search or pick from a list to access the file again in the future.
I dont actually need to be able to manipulate the file with access but i would like to be able to open the files containing folder using access.
My question is...
Could i use MS Access for this type of project?
Thanks!
