Pointers

[Les]

Hello

I'm looking for some general pointers in the right direction for creating a
very simple DB. There will only be a few hundred records but it will need to
look good and also the data will need to be able to link to other information
as a web page would.
Is Access the right tool?

Thanks.

Access forms allow you to present your data in very attractive and
interactive ways. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "be able to link to
other information as a web page would" means, but you can create a user
interface that will allow you to open other forms or other applications, move
between different records or even tables.
