Create a table which contains the maintenance information, and use
Totals queries to get monthly and yearly summaries.

For a more detailed answer... please post a more detailed question,
preferably in the bodyof the message rather than in the Subject line.

drt,

This is something we have had in place for several years.

Set up two tables, vehicle and maint

vehicle table
vehno
vehmake
vehmodel
vehserial
vehcost
etc

maint table
vehno
maint_date
maint_part
maint_part_no
maint_part_cost
etc

the relationship between the two tables is the vehno. We have always used
the vehicle year and the order the vehicles were purchased, example: 200401 =
first vehicle bought in 2004, 199710 = 10th vehicle bought in 1997.

Then you can set up queries to track vehicle cost by month date etc.

For what it is worth we also have a fuel table to track fuel use by vehicle.

John
