I'm throwing myself at the mercy of the experts and asking for help. I
volunteered to help my local library- fundraiser group create a database in order to put their annual event names in a computer rather than the stack of loose papers and notes they have in a three inch file. Each year they have to spend days handwriting invites and sorting through the names etc and I wanted to put it in a specific type of database. I thought I would be able to create it but after spending every spare minute I had over the last month or two watching tutorials and making a thousand broken databases I have reached the conclusion that I am a failure at Access. The database I wanted to create seems so simple I know it would take an Access master a mere 27 and a half minutes to create it. The basic idea is an address book table with Name, Address, Email, etc. Then a second table that lists the type of person they are Speaker, Guest, Media, and then a third table allows for the year to be selected for that type (In 2007 John Smith was a Speaker and then in 2008 he was a Guest, etc) so you would have the address book part and then a subform below that would allow for two combo boxes with the type of person and the year. Does anyone already have something like this created that I could just enter in my data? Anything like that? Thank you thank you thank you so much for any help!!!! |

Before you make a decision to hire someone who solicits paid work in these
(free) newsgroups, be aware that the Code of Conduct for these newsgroups prohibits soliciting paid work. Do you really want to hire someone who ignores the rules?

There is nowhere in the Code of Conduct for these newsgroups that prohibits
offering help with an Access application for a reasonable fee. Steve "Jeff Boyce" wrote in message ...

You can spend every spare minute over the next month or two trying to do it yourself or you can let me do it for you and have it done soon; it's your choice. Contact me if you want my help. Steve Stevie is our own personal pet troll who is the only one who does not understand the concept of FREE peer to peer support! He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support. There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of "FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he needs to constantly grovel for work. Please do not feed the trolls. John... Visio MVP |
