Access should have a Hotel Room inventory booking template databas

[Guest]

Hi, all:

I'm not sure which category to put this because I believe it touches on
several aspects so I'm posting it in General Questions.

I use Access 2002 at a beginner-to-intermediate level. I manage groups in a
travel agency and I'd like to see a starting point database template from
Microsoft which I can customize for my needs.

The room inventory database will receive input at the time of a group
creation as to the number of rooms that are being reserved in inventory for
the particular group. Thereupon, each booking automatically takes a room from
inventory, or returns it when a party cancels.

I also need a way to easily add or build Reports from within the database,
in which I can pick and choose which fields to drop to the report page and
which layout I can select pick (such as mailing labels).

Is this something that already exists or can someone easily develop this?
Thank you for any response.

Gabe

Hi,
Access 2007 will have a lot more sample applications available for beginners.

quote:
Out-of-the-box database solutions. The new Getting Started screen includes a
variety of prebuilt database solutions. You can use these applications right
out of the box—or treat them like templates and enhance and refine them to
accommodate the kind of information you want to track or the way in which you
want to track it. These predefined applications can help you track contacts,
events, issues, assets, tasks, and more. Other application templates will
become available over time from Microsoft Office Online and will be
advertised in the Getting Started window.
