Hi there, hopefully somebody will be able to offer me some words of advice.
I am creating a database for a firm that deals with property insurance
claims. Creating a databse of relevant contacts etc ... is not a problem.
The current system that the company uses is that of an excel spreadsheet,
where the details for each room are recorded and relatively simple
calculations are carried out on this.
The details needed for each room are the same (ie height, width, damage
floor etc ...), the variation being for each claim being how many rooms.
My intention is to move the system completely over to access, and avoid
attaching spreadsheets to records etc...
Ideally I would like to be able to creat a form where the user would select
the number of rooms (e.g 1 sittingroom, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms) and the form
would then on the following stage request the relevant data eg
Sitting room:
height, width, etc..
bathroom1:
height, width, etc..
bathroom2:
height, width, etc..
bedroom1:
height, width, etc..
bedroom2:
height, width, etc..
bedroom3:
height, width, etc..
Is it possible to do this dynamically so to speak?
Would any one have any recommendations? Should I go down this route or stick
to the old system?
