How should I design this Information

[naja]

I have to create a DB that contains the following fields and criteria, but I
haven't been successful since my knowledge of Access is very little. I have
checked couple of websites and look into the way their setup the DB but none
of them fit my need.

Label Field Type Comments

Person Reporting Text Default with authors name
PNA IT Group Pull Down Values should be each It Dept name )
Category Pull Down Values: Hardware, Software, Contract
Savings Type Pull Down Values: Savings, Cost Avoidance
Title Short Description - S/B a brief description like a title
Action Taken Text Ability to enter what action was taken
Date Savings Starts Date Format of MMYY
Attachments Available to put in additional attachments for detail information
