Hi All,
My name is Paul and I am new to this Forum, so I firstly wanted to say hello to all and glad to be here.
I need some assistance with a work related database. I am currently developing it as a project but have run into a wall with the design being my first time.
I have to create a customer service and invoicing database. I currently have the following tables:
Client (Customer No, User Profile, Password, Customer Name, Acc No, Policyholder, 100% Indemnity)
Contact (Acc No, Date Signed On, Company Name, Contact Name, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, Address 4, Address 5, Post Code, Telephone No, Fax No, Email)
Product (Product ID, Product Name, Service Level, Product Code, Price, Subscription Details)
Client / Price (Customer No, Product ID)
Usage (Order Number, Day, Month, Year, Subject Name, Client Reference, Product Code, Company Name, Customer No)
I have managed to link Client and contact no problems at all. I have also managed to link Client to Product using the table Client / Price.
I have tested this with queries and can get all of the data I need extracted out.
However the problem occurrs when I try and link the Usage table to something or other. The Usage table is data that I need to import on a monthly basis from Excel. Once I get it, I need to load it into Access and then generate usage statements for each of the clients to show what products they have ordered and how much each report has cost them.
To make matters worse, each client has 14 different products to choose from, and all clients have different prices for each of the different products.
Getting this to connect properly is an absolute nightmare.
Can anyone assist me in how I might link the Usage (imported table) to the rest of the database? I have attached a copy of the relationships on a word document and wonder if anyone can put a finger on what I might be doing wrong.
Hope someone can help.
