So, I'm a digital product designer, and not a dev at all. For reasons beyond my control, I have to work with and develop a small handmade hr accounting system based on MS Access. I'm happy to find this community. I hope to get some help here.
Hey everyone and a HNY BTW

I don't want to discourage your learning something new, but you probably need to consider that HR accounting systems are a fairly advanced class of applications. Possibly not the best choice to start out with for a new developer.
If the commitment is firm, and you are willing to invest the time in learning how relational database applications work, start with the appropriate table design. I know of one good book with a chapter devoted to Accounting systems. There are, no doubt, others. The important thing is to start out with solid reference and learn how relational database applications work. You are familiar with the accounting aspects of the application, I assume, because you've been tasked with creating it. That implies a knowledge of the subject.
Good luck with the project.

Hello and welcome to the forums.
Pay attention to GPGeorge's and Pat Hartman's comments. Sometimes the build-buy decision doesn't favor building your own.
We will be happy to help with questions, but we DO sometimes tend to be a bit nosy about the whys and wherefores of a project, hoping to direct you to a more efficient or effective path.

you'll find plenty of help here. welcome to the forum.
Yep, I'd be happy to start this project from scratch and use a totally different setup. But I can't do this at the moment.
I thought I could get help on Access+VBA here. It seems I misunderstood the specifics of this community. This account can be deleted. Thank you for your time.

A non-trivial time period of pure practice, in apps that the company is not firmly depending on, should precede deploying company-dependent apps.
Kind of like you would learn to be a mechanic prior to fixing someone's brakes and sending them on their way.
