Hello! Before I attempt to learn to operate MS Access
(included among my programs), could you please tell me if
it has the database capability of performing the
following function I'm seeking, relating to a need for
CHRONOLOGICAL documentation of job-related incidents: If
I were to enter data (from various notes I've
accumulated) regarding each incident, and simultaneously
enter the date on which the incident occurred, could I
then request the program to sort this data into
chronological order? I would then want to expand on each
piece of data by providing more details on each
incident. Upon completion, I would then want to print
out all this data, thereby having a complete set of
chronological documentation. Any such capability towards
this end would be greatly appreciated. If Access does
not have this capability, perhaps you could point me in
the right direction? (For instance, I also have MS
Outlook, but do not know if it is appropriate for this
type of use or has this particular capability.) THANK
YOU SO MUCH for your time and attention to this matter.
 
Access can certainly handle this. I'm not sure if you are ready to create
this without a fair amount of assistance from reading, studying, and asking
questions.
