Thank you everyone for your responses. I will check out the site that was recommended. Currently, I have ACCESS 2007 Bible, that I am working my way through.
I can create a database, but my problem . . . is trying to understand the logic of the database. I went through and normalized (what I think normalized is) my database that I am currently working on. I have created small databases in the past and have run across problems with bad data. Reading the book is helping -- I, for some reason like to create Cartesian data -- because I did not understand. As for programming, I took a programming class about 4 years ago. Would have to re-teach myself -- and again -- it was just a basic class not all that in-depth. Anyway's Thanks again for your quick responses, I will keep you informed as to how I am doing. --- In [email protected], "Ruel Cespedes" <ruel_cespe...@...> wrote: > > You've come to the right place.
