Does anyone have a template for rabbit show entries?

[Guest]

I need a template or program for a county fair rabbit show that will allow me
to put in entries. I would need: Name, Club, Breed, Class, Sex, Meat Pen,
Singler Fryer, Tattoo etc.

Sounds like you're well on the way to identifying the attributes of a
rabbit. Why not just create your own database? I doubt very much
you'll find *that* specific a template!

Identify the Entities - real life people, animals, things or events.
Each type of entity (Rabbits, Owners, Classes, Breeds, Shows,
Prizes...?) will need a Table. You'll need to define the relationship
between the tables: as in, one Owner can own many Rabbits, but each
Rabbit has one and only one Owner, a one-to-many relationship).

Once you have the tables and their relationships defined, you can
start creating Forms for data entry and editing; and Reports for
printing.

Post back if you would like some more specific help... but I think
you'll need to build this yourself; I'm certain there is not a
Microsoft template, and any other template you find would probably
need a lot of restructuring anyway!

Yes, this sounds like an excellent project to start to learn the basics of
Access. Once you get it functioning, then the real fun starts when you
start to customize it via VBA coding. It's amazing what you can do once you
reach that stage. Good luck and feel free to ask questions along the way. I
would pick up a book on Access though as learning this without one would be
difficult. But with just a little basic understanding and using built-in
wizards and help, you can create a quite useable database.
Good luck
