1) To Append or Overwrite that is the question.

This depends on whether you need to reference he older
data or not. As well as how frequently you plan on
backing up your database.  If you have a good back
system for the database then overwrite (or delete and
add) coupled with a compact will keep the database
smaller.  If you not planning on storing a lot of data
then Append is quicker and simplier.

2) To Use a Report or export to Word which is better.

If you want to keep it very simple go with the Report.
 If you want to get to know the mechanics behind
exporting to a Word document for possible other
projects then I'd go that route or if you need to keep
an easily viewable electronic copy of the report on
file for some reason.

3) How much VBA and/or SQL would be involved.

Not sure how to answer this one... my biggest problem
here is I'm a VB programmer and I'd probably do nearly
all of it in VBA/SQL since that would allow it to be
much more portable for when this small critter
eventually turns into a large monster and they need to
migrate it to a SQL Server or if I want to be able to
reuse code segments for other jobs later on down the
road.  Short Term solution the smallest amount of
VBA/SQL will do the job... Long Term solution the more
VBA/SQL you use the easier it is to maintain, enhance
and to port.

Hope that was helpful.
