Completely new database

[wayneemma]

Hi All,

Im seriously confused, i know a fair bit about Microsoft Office, however I
have been asked at work to design and create a completely new databse in any
way i like. (this is completely my decision), I am now pulling my hair out
practically because i have no idea where to start.

I used to work for a Company that used an access Database for all of their
customer contact details, the usual name, address, telephone, fax, email etc
etc, i need a lot more than this.

I would ideally like the database to contain all of the above details (we
have individual customer numbers that i can use when searching), plus i seem
to remember there was a way in which i could add correspondence whenever i
pleased??

In effect i need to have a database that contains all the usual details, a
few more than this VAT numbers etc etc plus the option to add correspondence
when needed all in the same document.

Can anybody please advise on any ways that i can start this database without
it confusing me too much?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also please note, i run Office 2007.

Regards
Wayne

You can download various databases that will do what you need (other than the
VAT number - I think) from
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101172481033.aspx
You can see how they work and then alter them to fit what you need
