help setup db to track unique to customer orders history

[Getting_By]

We are a mfg company. We want to create a db that would make it easier to set
up an order history for each customer. Each of these customers has a variety
of different items that are unique to them. We wish to setup new items within
the customer form so we can enter and track the items and their history on
the fly

There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas
holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)

Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

Getting_By,

Take a look at the Northwind database... This should be a great start for
what you want.

Hi Getting_By,

Adding to Pieters - and yours

Inline:


New items would be easier to set up on it own form - assigning it then
to a specific customer then could be done either on the Product form or
Customer form with a subform.

so we can enter and track the items and their history on

How is this different from a standard
Customers -- (1,M)--- Orders---(1,M)---Order Details ---(M,1)---Products

Assuming this standard start for the layout you will need to add the table
that states what products are related to a specific customer.

tblCustomerProducts
CustomerID
ProductID
CustomerNumber ' I put this in to show how I used this format - Customers
needed different numbers (used on the Invoices) for the same products that we
produced.

You can either have a 1 customer to 1 product ID or as we needed many
customer could have the same product. Any product not in the list is assumed
to be available to all.

database? If you don't purge the orders or order details, then you have
their order history already.

Yes, but you don't have the products that they didn't order that are
specific to them.

and you can't limit the order detail subform to those products that they are
alowed to order that are specific to them.
