Project Tracking Database
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. Ben |

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?

Ben,
Your post essentially asked for a respondent to give you instructions for about 40 hours of work that you'll need to do. If you really want to do this yourself, I think that you'll have to ask for advice for individual steps where you need help. The first one would probably be about a good table structure to support your data storage and objectives. Fred |
