Hi Guys and girls!
Just thought id say hi, and ask for some help.
Im an IT support technicain, and Im very good with all hardware, and very good with most OS's and Apps, however Access is the one main app I have never ever used!
And now, youve guessed it, because Im the IT guy at my firm, they would like a database making, and are asking me to help.
As I dont know the access terminology, i dont really know where to start. I would search, if I knew what was searching for! Basically, if you think of a noob, I am 100% less knowledgeable about access than them!!
Ok, so if you lovely guys could help (and BTW this is probably a simple thing that you guys will be able to do in 2 mins!)
I am after a customer database, where I can enter Name, Address, DOB, etc with a date of contact as well. After entering this info, I'd basically like Access to remind me after 2 months, and prompt me to print a letter (that states blah blah, i spoke to you 2 months ago etc) and ask me if id like to send a letter to the main printer. I dont know if Access has a function that can do this, so if you just open the db one day you get a prompt to print 10 identical letters (with the different customers info??)
I really really dont know if Access does this? Like i said, complete noob, so, if you nice people can help it would be really really appreciated. And if someone wanted to really help and build me a template, or point me towards a template that would be even better!
Many thanks in advance
Andy!
