Database used to make work orders and purchase orders

[Chip Smith]

i would like to make a database that could hold information like a customers
name, address, phone, etc. then within the database either by button or thru
word, have it dump that information into a workorder or purchase order
template i've already made. and then after the workorder had been created and
saved, have that file associated with that customer in the database either in
a new field or by clicking on the customer and bringing up all the associated
documents

Ok. What would you like the unpaid volunteers here to do? Implement this
rather complex application for you?

What is the "template"? An Access Report would be simplest; if this is a Word
document or something else you may be costing yourself a lot more work than
you're saving.

Take a look at the Northwind sample database, and/or check out the
introductory tutorials below. Access can get your job done, but maybe not
exactly in the way you're visualizing.
