[needhelpPLEASE]

Ok I did get help from some people but Im still REALLY confused.
I was wondering if it would be too much for someone to create a database for
me and just send it to me...I would REALLY appreciate it.

I need a database for customers. I need to have all their info,, company
name, point of contacts: fn, ln, title, address, ph#, fax#, email. && I need
at least 3 different point of contacts.
I also need like a call log for them on a seperate tab. time and date and
Notes of wht the call was about.
Before I get into the contacts though I want like a little box to come up
and say View All Contacts on one little button, and Search Contacts on
another little button.

So when I am just lookin to add some additional information to an existing
contact I could just search their company name or actual name and find them.

I also want it to be pretty and vibrant with colors of our company: dark
orange, red, and a little bit of yellow.

Please help me out. It will be of such great help to me. Im so lost with
access and I dont have time to look at the insightful but LONG tutorials.
Thanks SO much

That is paid work. Check around and find a vendor (get recommendations) to
build the database for you and be prepared to pay for it.

You're asking someone to build you a custom database application for free?
I think it very unlikely that anyone here will do that, though many of the
frequent posters here are developers who do that for a living. What you're
asking is really beyond the purpose of these newsgroups, which are for
*helping* people, not for doing all their work for them. If you want to pay
someone to build this application for you, I'm sure you can find someone
here who will do it, though commercial solicitations in the newsgroups are
seriously frowned on.

That said, have you looked at the template databases on Microsoft's website?
It's very likely that you'll find one that is very close to, if not exactly,
what you want (except for your own company colors, which you would have to
apply yourself). Maybe this one would do:

Call tracker

That's for Access 2007. You didn't say what version of Access you're using.
Here's a list of Access 2007 templates for business:

Here's a list of template databases for Access 2003:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101426031033.aspx

It's quite likely that there's one there somewhere that you could use as a
starting point.

Well I have a database I got off a template, but now all I'm trying to do is
have a small box open up before anyone goes onto the contacts list, to have a
box that will look up a certain contact for me without me having to search
throughout the contacts manually.

 

[Gina Whipp]

Okay, have you tried adding combo box at the top .... One of the choices
when using the wizard is "Find a record based on my selection..." I think
that might give you what you need.

I can build the database for you for a modest fee. I provide help with
Access, Excel and Word applications for a reasonable fee. If you would like
my help, contact me.

Stevie, even if a poster asks, this is not a venue for paid work. I guess
you do not have any integrity to ignore the request.



These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas
holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

Dec 30, 2008 8:07 PM - a reply to stevie
(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)

Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

On my database (below) I have a sample file called QuickFindCombo in
A97 and A2003. It shows how to use a combo box (as Gina suggested)
that allows you to find any record by a combo selection.
