I am the Treasurer for a Habitat for Humanity affiliate. I am trying to
create a database to track the hours worked by our volunteers. I have
already creaed the Volunteers table, but am unsure of next step. Can anyone
help?
 
Thank you Steve. At the risk of sounding like a total dufus..... Is using
the forms and subforms fairly self explanatory? I used to a lot of work in
Acess, but it has been a while and I fear that I have gotten quite rusty.
 
Thank you Steve. At the risk of sounding like a dufus again.... I am
assuming I need to create the relationships betwen the tables first. Any
advice? I'm going to owe you!!!!
 
Steve - I am trying to create the relationships as you suggested, but I keep
getting the following error: "Relationships must be on the same number of
fields with the same data types" Do you have any suggestions?
 
suggest you start out by learning, or learning more, about relational design
principles. Access is designed to work best with structures that follow
these principles, so it's well worth the investment of time to get a firm
grasp of them before proceeding. after that, you need to learn, or brush up
on, the basics of the Access software, so you can begin building your
relational design, and be able to communicate clearly when asking questions,
and better understand the answers. for more information on these crucial
first two steps, see http://home.att.net/~california.db/tips.html, Tips 1
and 2.

Thank you Tina. I fear that perhaps I may have begun asking questions before
being able to fully understand the answsers. I appreciate your help.
 
you're very welcome. Access has a steep learning curve when you're just
getting started, Bama, but we all started the same way - so just hang in
there; once you learn enough to really get going, you'll be amazed at what
you can do! :)
