Hi all,

I'm Allison from South Yorkshire in the UK. I started teaching myself Microsoft Access back in September 2023. I wanted to create my own database to replace the current (unsuitable) one I use at work, along with several spreadsheets. Hopefully, I can create something that works well and helps streamline my reporting (which currently consists of counting rows in a spreadsheet!).

I have learnt so much already since I started my project but still consider myself to be a newbie and being able to ask questions of much more experienced people is invaluable!

Hello, Allison, and welcome to the forums.

Assisting in workflow and reporting improvements was actually one of my first "real" Access projects for work. Sometimes a simple bit of analysis followed by a simple reorganization is all it takes for the boss to decide you are really earning your salary. I didn't get promoted 'cause he didn't want to let me get "harvested" by other groups, but he made sure that when step raises were available, I got my share and a little more.
