Hi All, One thing that has become apparent (besides the fact that I would be crazy to try and use/learn Access myself), is that I actually do not know what I am looking to do. As I go through the "so called" Order management process we have been using, I have discovered it is a botch up from...

I agree with that 100% - as many of the developers have said "Alex tell us what you want................................what you really really want. As I noted in one of the other replies it is easier to critique something than start from scratch. In my previous life overseeing some very...

Hi, Thanks for taking an interest in my project. However a Business Analyst is not at all what is required. My experience (limited) with Business Analysts over the last 30-40 years has shown the old saying of "if you can't do it teach it" to have some real basis. I know what is required for my...

Thanks Larry, I am working on the spec and hopefully will have it later today. In answer to your questions - 1. Ignore that as we simply need to create a Sales Order 2. Simply different models - we have approx. 10 models and each model may have several options for example, LL1500S-O-WK is a...

Yep Pat - an excellent summary. I want the software to meet my requirements not the other way round. Do you have a template I can look at?

Hi Cotswold, Thanks for taking the time to give me your thoughts. Not being a programmer (at all), I first need to create a graphical flow of what I am trying to achieve so that an expert has at least got a starting point. In the first instance, I had asked if anyone knew of something that might...

Not sure what trusted location means I will read on it.

Hi Larry, I will have a graphical mockup of the process soon. In the first instance am only looking for a system to handle Customer Orders. I don't need 1. Vendor orders, 3. Labor time calcs. Payments from customers vary. Website sales are prepaid and sales to wholesalers are invoiced for...

Hi Pat, I am not looking to handle Inventory other than load a Product from the database. I may look at expanding it later but in the first instance I simply:rolleyes: want to create a system for entering Customer orders and then tracking them through the production process andpossibly...

I am looking at what is best to create the dummy GUI - I was thinking Powerpoint which I have used before but ChatGP suggests Figma which I have never heard of or used. Hi Mike, I am currently creating a menu GUI so I can determine what I really require. I will post it soon.

Hi all, I do not want to tick anyone off by using the Forum incorrectly so please let me know if I am causing a nuiscance - it is just numptiness and not intentional. I have not really used a Forum before.

Hi Larry, Thanks for your questions. I am in the process of creating a more detailed requirment list and had thought I would generate a front screen using Powerpoint or Excel to show what the app needs to do. let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hi Cotswold, I do find it frustrating that something so seemingly straightforward comes up with errors to simply open the program. It never happened in the old days with good old pen and paper! I have spent quite a bit of time looking for readymade options to use or customise but so far have not...

Hi Gasman, It is the Developer Version - the Std one loads OK.

Hi, I did look at the Northwind example but could not open the Developer version - it kept coming up with an error - Compile error: Sub or Function not defined

Thanks very much.

Hi everyone, My name is Alex and I live in New Zealand. I own a small business (less than 5 employees) and I design and manufacture industrial LED lighting. I am trying to find an existing Access Order Entry tracking system that I can modify as required to suit my requirements. To date I have...
