Hi all,
I'm self taught and use MS Access 2007. Working for a community of elderly Religious Sisters in Australia I've created a database of the Members of the Community.
This eliminates the need to weed through confusing and often incomplete paper records which are stored in a variety of boxes and folders. I really enjoy the challenge of creating better systems but am still 'stumbling around in the dark'. I don't understand some of the technical terms used in the responses to these forums but I'm keen to learn. Looking forward to learning from you all.

I continue to be 'a work in progress'

Hello, Bloss, and welcome. If at any time you come across something you don't understand and the "great Google brain" doesn't help, ask here either in the "General" or "Database Design" sections. General is more likely to be best for most "what is it" questions.

I'm Frank from Belgium and I'm a freelancer (maintenance-industry) - not a programmer.
All that I have done and learned in Access was by searching on the internet, and trying and trying again until's it work.
For my own company (very small) I've used for about 6 years MS-Access to follow up my bookkeeping.
In view of that, I have some questions about financial reporting.

I am basically self-taught and have used MS Access for years, however, my current job requires it more than others. I'm having to use more complicated processes so I may be talking to you all a lot.
