    Question Save date-specific information for a record.

    In my example I want to have simple contact form (name last name phone number etc) along with a box connected to a date box in which I can add additional information for my record and it will be date-specific.



    For example let's say I have a client's record. I would like to save in a box in his form all information regarding something I sell to him on a specific date.
    ie. Mr Edgar Thomas - 10/3/2012 - He bought a cat from me.
    but maybe there is another client who bought something from me the same day so each "event" must be unique and easy to identify.

    ps: I am not sure if this is right but I guess that all these information must be linked to identifiers.. and their identifiers must be linked to dates. If I want to search for sales I did in specific date how would be? How the "program" would recognize more than one "records" for the same day?

    There is a tutorial here that goes through a process to build a database. It has sample data. After the tutorial, you could go through the process with your own data.

    Question MS Access 2010 database

    I will update my question in order for you guys to understand. thank you in advance

    So what I want to do is to create in MS Access a simple contact database (for my clients). BUT! I want for each of my contacts (AKA records) to be able to add info assigned to dates (something like subform-record I guess) one info (note) assigned to one date for each record/client
    Example: Record 1: Bill Smith. Date 17/02/2012 note: "I got 30$" Date 18/05/2012 note: "I got 30$"
    Record 2: Spencer Williams. Date 17/02/2012 note: "I got 30$" Date 18/05/2012 note: "I got 30$" Date 19/05/2012 note: "I got 30$" and so on...
    notice that different records will give me info in the same dates sometimes.
    In conclusion I wanna make a contact database for my clients but since I am having regular dates with them I want to take notes for each client : "what date" , "how much he gave me"
