Default F- in Access

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!!!!

Have you checked for templates at the Microsoft and other on-line sites?

Hello,

I would like to offer to create your database for you. I provide help with
database applications for a small fee. 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

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.

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
