Unfortunately I know nothing about access but I will try assist as best I can, otherwise I am sure one of our team members will help.
Firstly my interpretation of your question is as follows:
You wan to computerise your filing system to make it easier for you to search for things, this means that you would need someone to make a record of everything in your current filing system, including locations, cabinets e.t.c and then input it onto a database in the computer.
Am I correct in that first assumption?
Could you answer a couple of my questions to help us find an appropriate answer for you:
- If the above is true then what would be your prefered way of inputing information into the PC, through excel/word/scanned docs or a specialised program?
- Do you already have any system currently in place, if so could you explain what programs are used?
Is this the sort of thing you are after or am I way off target? -
