    A database can be designed and used without a single line of code by relying on intrinsic tools for sorting and filtering and manually opening objects from Navigation Pane. The more 'user-friendly' the more code will be involved. So, suggest you learn how to program. Start with a review of

    http://baldyweb.com/FirstVBA.htm
    https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Intr...to_Programming

    Also, study an introductory tutorial on Access to learn basics of Access functionality and database principles. You already seem to have understanding of some features (keys, subform, combobox, etc). Continue developing and when you have specific issue, post question.

    Manufacturing/Assembly/Production type of database is subject of many threads. IMO, it is one of the more difficult types of db to design, if you are wanting to track the assembly of products - which parts are used in assembly and what assemblies are used to build whole product. Gets very tricky. If you don't need to track that level of detail then might not be so bad.

    In addition to the advice offered by June, please see the link to Database Planning and Design in my signature.
    The tutorials at RogersAccessLibrary mentioned in the link will help/lead you through the design process based on your business.
    I also suggest you watch a few of the analysis "knowledge nuggets" from BA-Experts also mentioned in the link.
    Good luck with the project.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
