I am the volunteer treasurer for a small nonprofit. When I started, there was no record of donors and their donations and everything was done manually. Nor did I know anything about Access. I have been developing a database to record donors/donations, generate income tax receipts, either email or mail the receipts using Word from Access, and generate numerous statistical reports using Microsoft 365. Over the years, I have tweeked the basic two-table database to be quite sophisticated (by my standards), but hopefully user friendly for my successor. I did this by identifying areas of improvement and researching the how, as well as constantly being on the lookout for tips and techniques that would make my database more efficient. Sometimes I can't figure things out on my own, so I turn to forums such as this one. I'm far from being an expert with Access and 365, but happy to share my experiences, if it will help someone.
