Steve, you know you're going to catch flak for soliciting business through
the newsgroup. Why not put something about design basics into the Access
Tips section of your web site (which has been "Coming Soon" for a while now,
I believe), then send the OP there? Once at your site they may choose to
browse around. Others provide free information on their web sites, as well
as links to other sources of information. Their example would be well worth
emulating.

It all starts with setting up the proper tables for your database. I can
help you do this for a very reasonable fee then you can complete the
database by developing the forms and reports you need.

I'm building my first database. (I'm scared to death!).
Forgive me if I ask a lot of questions -- this is a huge project given to
me
by my manager.
I have data sources of all types -- Word Docs, Excel files, Access tables
created by others.
I'm making a dbase to keep track of all the jobs we do. Others will be
updating the data by entering in new info via a form (or forms). I'll
need to
run reports, queiries, etc.
Where do I start? Building upon the existing tables? Start from scratch
and
then pull the data from the existing tables? How would I use the primary
keys
with the other data? Is that pulled and put into a different table and
then
used?

Which is better: drop-down boxes or combo boxes better? I'll need to be
able
to sort or pull info from reports using some of this info. (ie: we have 2
versions of a book -- how many books were ordered of vers. A in XX time
period)

I'll be asking many questions over the next couple of months. Thanks is
advance for any and all help!
