Which Template to use

[vicks77]

I have a large customer data list (over 16k). I own a business that when
someone calls me and make an order, I want to select the customer from the
list enter in what they ordered and close out. I am not using this database
to send invoices or anything to send to the customer.

I only want to track what they orders, name and their order history.

any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hello vicks77,

I always prefer to develop my own database and not to use a template. If
you have some experiences you can do it yourself. Some ideas follow:

As a start I would create the following tables:

1. tbl_Customers: a) CustomerID unique field/s, b) any other neccessary
fields, e.g. tel nos, address, etc
2. tbl_Products: a) productId (unique field), b) any other necessary fields,
e.g. product name, description, price etc.
3. tbl_Invoices: a)Invoice No (unique field), InvoiceDate, CustomerID -
related to tbl_customers, total amount, vat etc.
4. tbl_InvoiceProducts: a) InvoiceID + ProductID (primary fields - unique),
if you will not record the same product in the same invoice, quanity, price,
etc

Then create necessary forms to automate processes and finally necessary
reports.

As I have mentioned, this is a starting idea.

Hope this helps,

GeorgeCY

Hello,

If you need help with your database, contact me. I provide help with
Access database applications for a very reasonable fee.

These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
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...

Smooth move stevo, but this is another example of how low you will stoop.
The request for contact was to me not to you.

To the OP, these newsgroups are for FREE support, something steve does not
provide. He does provide questionable results at unreasonable prices. If you
want real help from very qualified individuals who gladly will help for
FREE, just post a clear request to these newsgroups.
