perhaps, you should simply
use excel.
use one tab to build a customer
table
then use another tab or a
separate spreadsheet
for the inventory.
then another for expenses
then later, after you become
familiar with access or find
someone who is,
the tables you built in excel
can be imported or linked
into access.
in addition the excel table
of customers can be used
by word for mail merge-ing
in case you want to send
out mailers or flyers to your
customers.
