I paid for MS Access 2007 as part of a software bundle so I thought I'd give it a try. I've read through the various help pages and have a very vague understanding of the basic principles. I thought the best way to learn would be to give it a try.
Here goes - I thought I'd try and produce a database for my wife’s Childminding Database. I started off with a table of the Childs details (date of birth etc) and parents and other kin’s contact details. I produced a couple of forms to make data input more user (wife) friendly and I think without further help from the experts I have reached my limits. What I would like to do is have an attendance register, completed weekly for each child, and be able to produce weekly bills, based on the attendance and the hourly rate (which changes).
I am quite happy to muck in and try and get things to look and work well but my lack of understanding of the principles of relationships is not helping. If someone could give me some top level tips I would be most grateful.
