Question Microsoft Access Forms Review for Suggestions.

[shephardfamilyenterp]

Greetings,
I am working on my PROJECT MANAGEMENT DATABASE SYSTEM(PMDS) for my company and need some professionals to assist me in more direction.
I have created a review video by searching in YouTube for "PROJECT MANAGEMENT DATABASE SYSTEM(PMDS)". But, I wanted to do a screen share using Google Hangouts so that I can learn more ideas about what I need to do next.:banghead:

Hi. Just my 2 cents, but if you're looking for "professional" help, it might mean a paid service. Is this what you mean?

I am basically looking for a perspective on what I have so far as I have created a PROJECT MANAGEMENT DATABASE SYSTEM(PMDS) database that I have been working on for about two years. I am trying to make it more robust so that it can do multiple updates to different tables so that calculations are generated across multiple forms. Just need a better way of implementing it.

Hi. If you're asking us to critique your project, it might be best to post a copy here, so we can take a look.


PS. You can do it in incremental steps. For example, you can share your table structure first, and we can comment on just that, for now.

This is what I am doing displayed on Youtube as "PROJECT MANAGEMENT DATABASE SYSTEM (PMDS)-Training Overview(1)" video, can I do this...? I think the video description/example would be better than showing pictures...

Hi. If you were trying to post a link, I think you'll have to wait until you have at least 10 posts before you can do it. Yes, a video is much better than an image, but a sample file is still the best because we can dissect it better. In a video, you will be in the driver's seat. But with a sample file, we can dig in as much as we want. And if you want honest opinions about your project, you would want the reviewer to freely play with it.

Thanks very much... I will put the file together and form picture that I am questioning a review for. I am so far into the project that it would be sort of difficult to trim it down to viewer testing size. But I will try... give me a little time to do this and I will post the file.

Again, thank you.

I believe the o/p means this one Tony?

First off kudos to you for your entrepreneurial spirit that's awesome!

But I have to agree with Uncle Gizmo on this one, it's too busy. It's a good working model but not ready for prime-time. A tabbed form could certainty help with the busy look. just my 2 cents.

Good luck with your project, I hope you can sell a lot of them!

Hmm, so did I miss the part with the Relationships window? Seems like some work needs to be done there.

 

[shephardfamilyenterp]

I would like to thank all of you for your guidance and instructions. I will try to modify my form in a version that will outlay the design indicated. But, as I have shown, this application will and is used by some of my clients that are taught how to navigate through the form to get the needed information and how to submit the needed data so that the information that they need can and will be readily available. When I begin the new revision I will slowly roll-out the suggested version and design as time permits..

Thank you all.
