Guest The X Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I'm confused. I know nothing about programming, SQL, XML, VB6.0, VB.NET, etc. I want to create a simple database for a project. Then, I want to be able to sort classmates with physical attributes like gender, skin color, hair color, eye color, height, weight, etc. Then I want to interrogate that database with parameters like: Show me all men taller than 5'7", with brown hair; Show me all woman with blue eyes and blond hair; etc... I want an application in wich I can easily add new profiles. Does such a program exist, if not, How can I create it. I repeat, I know nothing in programming so don't use any abreviations. Would access 2007 be useful? That would help me a lot

Best to post further questions in an Access newsgroup.
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Building a Database you have asked this question before. here is a place to download pre programmed templates for your program. you may have to modify a template by adding/incorporating your own criteria as new fields or simply renaming a few of the included fields with your own criterion, eg height, etc...... g.l. & have fun! -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

Guest DL Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Building a Database Access is capable, you might want to buy an Access book or you can use access help and wizards "The X" <TheX@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1BDF1240-E4FD-46EE-B8CE-570DBB3BA86B@microsoft.com... > I'm confused.

Guest sgopus Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 RE: Building a Database Since this is a general Xp questions group an office or access group would be better suited to answer your questions. http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.access.tablesdbdesign&cat=en_US_1093ed10-8c80-4f44-ab3a-98873bb8c576&lang=en&cr=US Try this link.

Excel could also handle it rather easily. Your requirements are meager as database usually go, so Excel might even be the easier route.
