F- in Access

That's very nice of you, John, but why don't you make similar offers to many
other OPs you respond to?

Further, you condone the actions of visio john and arno r but they never
make an offer like yours to any OP. In fact their conduct obviously violates
the Rules Of Conduct of the newsgroups and you condone their actions. OPs
need to be very wary of hypocrites in sheep's clothing.

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!!!!

I have a copy of your current Word doc describing your needs and will try
to
get back to you in the next day or so (free of charge).
