I am going to have a huge learning curve ahead of me whilst I try and build myself a database. Glad to have found this great resource.

Hello and welcome to the forums.
Uncle Gizmo's advice is good. To learn Access, don't start with an overly ambitious project. Start small and build on it.
Since you admit to having a big learning curve, I'm going to offer you a suggestion on something useful to read. In this forum, you can search for the word "Normalization" and get some useful articles that contain useful references. If you take that search to the web, you must search for "Database Normalization" because there are at least six different non-database subjects that ALSO discuss normalization - e.g. math, chemistry, and diplomacy for three - and there are others. IF you go for a web search, you'll get hits all over the place. Look at a few of the .EDU domain hits first, only because the .COM domains on the subject often have something to sell you.
