Been awhile since I have posted on here - but I am going to need some help. I've recently started with a new firm that has ZERO employees with any Access experience. I've recently introduced some process improvements that can be done via Access, and got those in charge all riled up. So now I need to design something, but not sure how to accomplish what I want because I am dealing with new challenges.
What I want to do is develop a database that a number of departments can work from.
Here is how I would like it to work: New Accounts opens an account via Access. Completes what they need to do, and it pops up on the Next Department's table for processing. They accomplish their goals, submit and it pops up at the next department.
In the past, I could always get away with having one database that one or two workers would work off of - but I have never developed anything on Access that needs to be used by multiple departments.
My question is, where do I start or how do I even structure this? Would it be a main database on a server, and have satalite databases for each dept sourcing it?
Any advice would help.
