From Microsoft Works to Access

Hey, I noticed that you are contacting me from England. Cool. I studied Landscape Design there.

I was an Environmental Planning Officer here, and our group included an landscape design section. Good luck with getting your database up and running again. Like you I used MS Works originally. It's very simple database function was really more of a spreadsheet, and not relational. At work we firstly used dBASE, but changed to Access in 1997, when I completely rewrote our database applications in Access. It does take a little time to get up to speed with a relational database development environment, but if you stick at it, it will become more straightforward. And we are always here to help if needed.

Someone in this conversation chain said that it is split.......??

You know. I am a gardener not a computer geek. This should be easy. I'm going to try to find someone who can help me. Like I said Microsoft Works was EASY. A gardener could do it. I do have a friend that is a computer geek. I'll try him first then I'll go back to the person who installed it. I'll have him look at this conversation chain to understand what is going on.

That's exactly why Tom and I brought up Crystal's name....

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.... but.... I think I prefer an in person experience. OR... someone that can remotely access my computer to solve the problem. Thanks again. As you said this isn't working.
