Fill-in Form General Questions

I need to create a simple database with 2 tables for several people to use.
They key will be the project number (colum #1) on both tables.

I have never coded an Access application before and I have a few questions:

1. Can I run it on my machine while I write and test it or do I have to
write it on some kind of test environment on the server.

2. Are there any good tutorial websites that I can use. I used to program in
C and C++ about 25 years ago, but I haven't done any coding since.

3. Any templates or any other suggestions would be appreciated
 
1. Yes & No. For most databases, and most certainly a simple database, the
answer is yes. You can develop your database on your computer and then
deploy onto their network and shouldn't have any issues. That said, there
are certain items that can be touchy and may require a little finessing when
you deploy the database, such as back-end table links.

3. Templates for what exactly? We would need more details to guide you
better. You can take a look at :
