The best advice I can offer is to give you a sense of what's involved.
Access is powerful and rewarding to use, but it takes quite a bit of
study to master. Noone should expect simply to pick it up and use it -
you do need some introductory training. Microsoft have a good
introduction at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...582831033.aspx
... and there are good introductory videos (monthly fee) at lynda.com.

The most important thing by far to get your head around is table design
and "normalisation" - get that right and everything falls into place
more easily. Access is a "relational database", with forms, reports and
VBA modules bolted on. It's important to understand what a "key" is,
and to know how to represent a one-to-one, a one-to-many and a
many-to-many relationship between tables representing "entities".

There are also templates you can explore, adapt and use:

... and many resources on the web. If you add "MPV" to a web query
you'll pick up sites run by "Most Valuable Professionals" a number of
whom provide free advice here.

How's that for starters?

Access is quite capable of doing this... but don't expect it to be quick or
easy, it's a powerful program but is correspondingly complex. Here's some good
resources to get started:
