Can Access be used for..... Newbie Here!

[AllieEm]

Many years ago I used access on a regular basis for a billiard tour I used to run. It worked excellent for what I needed it to do. Many years later I have come across a situation at my work that I think Access would be great for. Before re-educating myself as it has been a loooooong time, I have a quick question and was hoping an Access user can tell me if it is possible.

Here's my scenario.

I have 60 people who each have to fill out twelve forms with names and addresses along with some other personal information with answers that come from an interview. Currently when a person comes in, I fill out the forms online as they are saved as fillable PDF forms. Each form requires me to re-enter the name and address before completing the other fields. I would like to enter their information once and have it fill in all twelve forms to save time. Isn't this something that Access can handle? If so, is there a name for it, (type/style) so I know where to go play and re-learn?



Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can give to me.

Yes, this is how access works. you enter the data once into the master record in tPersons.
This table will create a KEY field (autonumber) to represent that person.

Then use a sub table/subform to enter other things about them. The key field is used here-on. Not the entire data of the person.
