Access is not for beginner or the level above that. Very huge learning
curve.
I use Database Oasis. http://databaseoasis.com/ It is very user friendly, I
can created a new database in 30 minuets if I use default font.
Here is a link to down load my Templates.
http://www.geocities.com/mikeg1310/mydatabase.html
You can try it for 15 days and download my templates.( no charge) They can
be changed to suit you if you wish. Trial software at
http://databaseoasis.com/ 14.1 M.B. file.
Photos are OLE (Object Linking and Embedding ) other words the photos are
actually in a folder on your computer. IE: My Pictures/ My Iris Photos etc.
As you can see on my one templates I have 5 photos.
I also Have databases in Medication, passwords, phone book, recipes, movie
collection and a iris want list.
Back all up with one click.
This has been the best money I have ever spent on software.
