Hi.
I would like to create a database that would have instructions and articles
and solutions . Just like the Help files in Word or Excel or such., as well
as a log with troubleshooting steps taken after certain events etc
The main purpose is to be able to find info or steps by typing keywords in a
search rather than thumbing through mounds of paper or files.
Can this be done in Access? I understand that you can only enter a certain
amount of text in a field so if each article has several paragraphs how
would that be done? would you have the text in Report ? or would you have
hyperlinks to Word documents? But you'd have too many files. Or would you
have them in Web format?
I'm sorry for all the questions but I wasn't sure where to start.
I have some knowledge of Access design and I have a HUGE Access 2003 book.
I don't want to invest hours on it in Access only to find that there's a
better way.
Thanks in Advance.
