How do I create a database?

[Lar]

I am somewhat familar with MS Office (I have teacher/student edition.) I
have a collection of Cherished Teddies and I need to create a database to
store serial numbers/prices series numbers and more. Can anyone offer me a
tutorial/guide on how to create one? I don't want to pay the 40.00 for the
www.cherishedteddiescd.com database, but it is ideal! Thanks for any help.

I would like to be perfectly honest and tell you that $40 is NOTHING for a
database. Buy it. You will spend untold hours developing a "proper" database
otherwise. However, you could start here:

then here:
http://www.theofficeexperts.com/access.htm#GoodTableDesign
and then you will be about 5% done...

i suppose you could look at the "sample" provided with MS Access and buy
a book on Access to learn how to use it. Of course the book costs $45
AND you still have to do all the design yourself.

Student/Teacher edition does not include Access, the database program that
is included with Office Professional, etc. Getting Access at this point
would cost you considerably more than $40 especially since Student/Teacher
edition doesn't qualify you for special Upgrade pricing.
