Simple job taking days

[Joe]

I have access97 and have never used it. I can't believe how tuff its been to
do a simple database. I have a garden club and want to keep track of :
Date Joined
Name
Street Address
City
State
Zip
Phone
Birthday
Email
Card Number

My problem seems to be the card number, it has to be 16 digits long. Don't
ask me its the gift/reward card companies system.
Anyone feel like making me a file for my Green Thumb Club? I want to be able
to sort by number or last name.
Regards
Joe

Did you try to use a numeric field for the card number? If so, don't, use a
text field instead. You're not going to be doing any math on that number
anyway.

That solved the problem,
Thanks
