Unless you have time and resources, and experience building applications
using MS Access, consider picking up a tool that already may do much of what
you would need to learn how to do in Access. That is, a project management
software tool...

What is it that you believe building this in Access will allow you to do
that you couldn't do with a commercial project management tool?

I need assistance designing a database that will allow me to track/edit
projects for the states that I support. I work in contruction and review
design documents for three types of projects. Each Project Type is
reviewed
at 30%, 60% and 90% design stage and are tracked in order to report
activity
(i.e. when completed, amount of time taken for review). Each project has
an
engineer(1 of 6 depending on region of responsibility), facility manager
and
facility office (each 1 of 50)

I have the following tables: States, Projects, Project Type, Design Stage,
Design Engineer, Facility Manager (1 per state), Facility Officer (1 per
state). My hope is to be able to view, add, and edit details pertaining to
projects for each state in one location (a form or single location) or be
able to manage multiple inputs from that location.

I would appreciate advice on how to be able to:
1. Allow visibility, edits, additions to projects, by state on a form
2. Break out Project Type on separate tab for each state on the form
3. Identify points of contact through button by state on the form
4. Produce reports on status/cost of projects by state

Thank you for any assistance.
