I cannot find where I start a database ?
Start by turning off the computer, getting a pad of paper and a
pencil, and a good eraser. (Well, maybe check out some of the
references at
http://home.bendbroadband.com/conradsystems/accessjunkie/resources.html#DatabaseDesign101
first).
Identify the "Entities" - real-life persons, things, or events - of
importance to your application. Figure out how they're related. Come
up with a diagram with boxes and arrows showing the one to many
relationships.
THEN open Access, and choose "Create a new file" from the window at
the right (if you're using Access 200x). Start by creating the Tables;
then their relationships in the relationship window; then you can
start thinking about forms for data entry and editing.
