address book fields

I am trying to use the addressbook template to keep track of my friends and
family, their birthdates and other info. I am trying to figure out a way to
input the children's birthdays and have them associated with each particular
child. I have tried for several hours to fix this. I am new to Access and
can't seem to select the right option. I know how to make a table in Excel
that would have the information that I want, I was just hoping to add the
field to the template and make it easier to input data and organize it. Is
this actually possible? Please help

If I am looking at the same template (I got it off the MS Template site), the
child field is for multiple Parent. I would create another table for the
children and their info and relate it to the address table. Make a query
that etc., etc. Or, just create a seperate address record for each child
with their birthdate.

So, it doesn't sound like an easy solution that will allow me to continue to
use the same form that came with the template. The only thing that differs
from the address book entry is the birthdate. I tried to go at it from the
table view and add a subtable (just a wild guess). It did not seem to work.
Is it possible to imbed the new table entries in the form itself? As far as
having separate entries for a specific family, husband, wife and children, I
wanted to have the "master" be either the husband or wife and then include
all other information under that. Clearly my inexperience with Access makes
this a little more difficult. Thank you for your help.

It isn't a real complicated thing but you would have a learning curve. If
you want to learn Access, give it a try. The HELP and COMMUNITIES are very
helpful in learning.
