I am in the law-Enforcement field and would like to create a database of
suspect info with things like address, known accomplices, vehicle
information and so on....... I have tried MS Access but I hope there is a
better program for what I require.. hopefully one that has a "Search" option
so that I can quickly locate information..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks a bunch

Access does contain a search option - but if your database is not properly
designed, then you will have trouble getting to the information that you
need from the database. You might be able to use the template "Contact
Management Database" at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101426031033.aspx?Origin=EC010223681033&CTT=6&av=ZAC
or perhaps one of those other templates might suit you a little better.?

In the meantime, I would suggest that you get started with Excel. Everything
that you enter into Excel can easily be uploaded into an Access database.

db

law-Enforcement if
a governmental entity
with reasonable funding
for a computerized program.

If you are in the U.S. then
a program has already been
designed and built and
used by your fellow
agencies....
