I've joined a lot of Yahoo!Groups over the years where newbies are scolded for asking questions right away, but after reading some of the archived messages it looks like it'd be OK for me to just jump right in and ask away. Sorry in advance if that's not true. :-)
I'm going to be designing a DB (as a favour, in exchange for product) for a five-person cosmetics manufacturing company selling retail over the net, wholesale to distributors and on consignment to drugstores, beauty shops etc. Now that they're sold on the idea of the DB (up til now they've been struggling to get along in Excel and Simply Accounting the latter of which no-one in the office knows very well), they were wondering if they'll need SA at all. I unfortunately don't know that app, and was wondering if anyone could direct me to a resource where I could find out the limits of Access's functionality in this regard? As for my bona-fides, I'm an end-user applications instructor (MS and Lotus) and I've designed about a half-dozen Access DBs for small offices, but they've been mostly contact/file management; this will be my first DB that focuses on inventory/sales. I'll be doing the grunt work, and I have a friend who'll be helping me with the coding (if any). Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section. Yahoo!
