Hi everyone,
I've been given the task of finding a way to create a massive database with a lot of variables. Unfortunately, the last time I used Access was probably about 14 years ago. I have a few questions as I'm still in planning mode.
1. It will be a massive database. Thousands of names.
2. It will have a lot of dates involved. Currently I'm using excel for one master list, however, my employer is looking to create something that not only has my tracking list but everything in between.
3. We track data such as when someone's car insurance is due. Does Access have queries (or can create one) where I can pull a report saying "during the month of December, these following people will have to renew their car insurance".
4. It will also have a lot of fields attached to one person. For instance:
Some of the fields will be simple yes/no while others are dates.
5. Is it possible to pull multiple information such as "during the month of December, the following people have to renew these items" (example car insurance, first aid, and performance review are coming due)
So, a lot of data with a lot of variables. Sort of like an HR database.
Thoughts?
Greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Airlea
