Hello. I’m a new member in search of a plan and advice.
I’m teaching myself to use Access 2010, and after viewing a number of videos on Youtube I have a decent grasp of the basics. But, I don’t know enough to complete the project I’m working on.
I want to create a database for a hypothetical fire department where I can keep track of present membership, individual training and qualifications. I want to be able to run reports for:
* The present Personnel Roster with contact data
* Every individual’s Service Record, including that individual’s time served, qualifications, training, offices held, and maybe even any disciplinary actions.
* A record of alarms that includes a list of all members who responded, who was in charge, and what apparatus responded.
* A record of training classes that lists all personnel who attended, along with expiration dates if pertinent.
Once that is done, I want to create an equipment and apparatus maintenance database, where I can run reports on maintenance performed and maintenance needed.
Thus far, I have a good start on the Personnel Record table and form, but I don’t know how to activate a list of the various qualifications available while completing the form. How can I do this?
Any suggestions, tips, or tricks would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gene
