Memos and subpages

[Skip]

First off, please let me apologize for asking simple questions, but I am
still attempting to learn this new Access.
I unfortunately have several questions that I am confused on, especially
when trying to understand some of MS's information.
1. I am using the Business Contact Template that comes with the program. I
want to either add a subpage or maybe link to word. I have to be able to keep
notes on each contact but it needs to be kept separated from the contacts
list. I am not sure that I should use an extra table and do a relationship or
how to go about doing this.

2. I want to make what I use to call a start page. This is where you start
the db and a form will come up and you have a choice of making a selection
of what to do? For example, do I want to start a new customer, locate the
records for a customer, or different type print requirements.

3.The last question. I am running Vista Home Premium, when I try to run the
tutorial movies, they will not run. I have to download them and then use
Media player. I have the Silverlight installed, any suggestion on this?

Thanks for all the help.

1. Yes, if you have to keep notes separate will need another table with field
to store ID of Contact record to relate to. Presume the reason for separate
table is to allow multiple note records for each contact, otherwise separate
table would not be required.

2. Build a form to serve as 'menu'. Access usually builds one automatically
for a new project and names the form Switchboard. Set project properties to
automatically open this form upon startup.

3. Sorry, got no clue. But as long as the downloads work...

June7,
Thank you for your rapid response. I will attempt using the information you
have provided as I do not see why it would not work.
I will get back in touch with you and let you know how I make out.
