Hi there. I'm extremely new to access and have a question that may have already been answered but after two weeks of sifting through info I'm just not sure what the best approach would be.
I have the task of creating a db for maintenance on machinery that needs to be serviced at different intervals.
My tables are as follows:
Assets: assetid, asset description and group
Ppm: pppmid, instruction and instruction details
Frequency: start date, issue date ( which is print date of ppmsheet), frequency could be weekly, 3monthly, 6monthly or annual.
Some of these items have already been serviced so there are existing "due dates".
What I am finding difficult to understand is how to get to create a query so that it auto updates the due date for future jobs indefinitely without me having to add any criteria except that which is already existing.
Should I do this by way of query or create table to calculate this?
I realize this may be a waste of your time but I'd really appreciate any advice..
