Other database platforms have built in queries in simple language without having to code the entire thing from scratch.
All you need to do is plan your database, it doesn't necessarily have to be relational, it can be flat file like excel.

I peeked at your database and thought: "I can do that!"....well maybe not so good, but it would suit my purposes, just for me. LOL
But I gave myself a good dose of monkey see, monkey don't do.
I am pretty good with VBA. OK I guess. But you are right Access is suited for the workplace where someone is getting paid 22 an hour and he doesn't much care if it takes 40 hours to put it together.
Me, I got Sandown in Wednesday! :lol:
