Setting up tables to catalogue all my research documents

[Guest]

Has anyone used Acess to develop a program to catalogue genealogy research
documents? I would like something that would allow me to categorize the
various types and let me know where the various documents are in my file
system.

This sounds very simple. Basically four or five fields.

Just create a table with the document tracking number, a name, a detailed
description, maybe a type field, a location field.

You could create related tables to store the valid types available in the
above table and another table to store the available locations.

Then, just create some forms for input and search, and some reports as
needed.
