Any good ACCESS book will help you get started on this process. The secret
to a successful and more easily maintained database is the proper set up of
the tables before you do anything else.
Successful design relies on you using paper and pen/pencil. You need to list
out the things that you want to store (grouping them by classifications),
and then figuring out how they relate to each other so that you can "look
up" a subset of something in another table.
This forum is not designed to do a massive assistance effort on designing an
entire database, but if you provide some basic info about what you want to
to do with the database and what things you're interested in storing, I'm
sure someone can provide some pointers to get you started in the right
direction.
