glorified address book
OK- I need to go right back to start. I'm volunteering for a charity that has
a yearly event and they need help!, --seriously they have 400 names on scraps of papers in manila folders--. I know the bare minimum about Access but know it's got to be a heck of a lot better to struggle through Access than allow them to handwrite 400 addresses for one more year. (seriously, like with a pen? yes.) I need a glorified address book. I need a table with name, address etc. But the key second part that stops this from just being a generic address book is that I need to sort them by a second set of features such as Author, speaker, Media, invitee, because some names will be just Author, or maybe be Author and Speaker and I need to be able to create labels based on one or more of these features. (guy works for the media and was a speaker so he has two features). My ***vision*** if you bear with me, is the "Address Book table" which allows for the form to type in the address "stuff" and then click down to a subform? to have a simple drop down box that I can then select one or several features. This seems blindingly simple, is this something a simple volunteer can do? |
