Well, it just so happens that the main demo database distributed with
every installation of Access - northwind.mdb - is a restaurant
supplier ordering database. Try opening it and see if it gives you
some ideas!

You will clearly want to modify it; you can get some resources for
learning to do so from http://www.mvps.org/access or from the
Resources link at

hi,

you need to create the tables to store the information and link them. The
tables would be Products, Categories, Suppliers and Orders.

Orders would link suppliers (customers) to products.

This should get you started. Let me know if you need more help.
