I will still check to see if any of you have helped me. But I'm not
goin to "POST" a new message anymore.

Daniel -
With all respect, you need to learn a bit more about how newsgroups
work. It can take a day or more, upon occasion, for even a well-framed
question to get an answer. Amazingly, sometimes answers come
immediately, but that only happens when someone who knows the answer to
the question happens to be reading the newsgroup just at the moment it
was posted. That's not the kind of response time you should expect.
Further, you must understand that no one is paid to answer questions in
the newsgroups. Rather, people freely give their time to help others.
But there's a difference between asking a specific question, or asking
for help with a well-defined problem, and asking for a complete tutorial
on Microsoft Access, or any other software product. People just don't
have the time to provide that, at least not for free. For a tutorial,
you should at least read the Getting Started section in the program's
help file, and there are many good books and a few tutorial web sites
that you can find.
It's also important to ask newsgroup questions in a way that others can
understand, others who don't know anything about your current knowledge
and the problem you're trying to solve. I read your original question,
which stated only:
I want to make a database.
Point #1:
I have Microsoft Access installed on my computer.
Point #2:
I can go to the Internet Explorer.
Point #3:
When I go to
http://www.amazon.com, I can log on using my user name,
and my password. I can also go up and down the page and look at all
the products.
I can't for the life of me figure out the relevance of points 2 and 3 to
point 1, and the statement "I want to make a database." You can't even
begin to make a database until you can state clearly -- to yourself, as
well as to anyone whose aid you seek to enlist -- what information the
database is supposed to record and what functions you want it to
support.
If you can do that, I suggest you try posting again, providing enough
information to allow someone to help you, and narrowing your focus to
one or two simple, specific questions that a person could answer without
writing a book. I'm confident that you will then get helpful answers,
though not likely with the 10-minute turnaround you were originally
expecting.
