Back making Access databases (1 Viewer)

Hi folks,

Around 7 years ago I left IT management and joined a whole different kind of career. So, it's even longer than since I worked on Access.

Well, I joined a new department this week and the IT department at my current employer gave a 3 to 6 month turnaround for a database to run our work stream. Unable to wait any this length the boss turns to me (clearly been reading my application!) and asks if I can do it asap!

I'm back at it and have used a number of threads on this site to refresh my memory of Access and VBA so I thought I would join up. Hopefully I'll get my flair back and be able to contribute.

Cheers guys

Nick

Hi Nick. Welcome back to Access and to this forum. Hope we'll be able to help you along the way.

Welcome, Nick. A little advice: Pick the most important parts of the work stream first. I started a similar project to support our department of about 35-40 admins (varied over time depending on too many factors). I had something running in 3 months but it took me two years to get the whole schmeer programmed. And of course, things change over time as new regulations come into play, so it was a never-ending job.

Yeah, I've been given 2 weeks to get version 1 up and running. It will be basic, but at least it isn't lots of different spreadsheets.
