MS Access Forum / New Users / August 2006Can you have a field that holds "notes" on the account?
We are about to purchase Access for our office, but I first need to make sure that along with all of the basic data, that it will also give us the opportunity to make notes on client accounts. Is there a way to do this? > We are about to purchase Access for our office, but I first need to make > sure that along with all of the basic data, that it will also give us the > opportunity to make notes on client accounts. Is there a way to do this? Certainly. You can either create a Memo field that will contain the notes. About how many characters (letters, number, punctuation, etc.) will these notes contain? Tom Lake Thanks Tom. Our notes would be brief notes of our most recent conversations and account instructions,etc., but we would like to be able to add more extensive notes if possible. > > We are about to purchase Access for our office, but I first need to make > > sure that along with all of the basic data, that it will also give us the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tom Lake > We are about to purchase Access for our office, but I first need to make > sure that along with all of the basic data, that it will also give us the > opportunity to make notes on client accounts. Is there a way to do this? If you are purchasing Access just to keep track of your clients you might consider using using Customer Relationship Management software (CRM)instead. Why reinvent the wheel? The time and money spent to develop something similar in Access will add up quick. I did a quick search on "CRM Shareware" with out the quotes and came up with quite a few hits. While I haven't used any of these products they are free for the trying. Here at our office we use Goldmine, but the learning curve is steep and it's pretty expensive. OTH it will do just about anything you want it to do. gls858 |
