I'm new to Access but I'm sure it will be much more efficient than all
these binders and random files laying around the office. I don't even
know where to start!
Can anybody help me with the following:
- Creating a report for voting records based on what legislation it is,
who voted yes, no, and abstained, and what the final action was
(passed, failed, tabled, referred to committee)
- Creating a meeting attendance report that lists by meeting date the
senators present and absent (in alphabetical order preferrably)

I've played around with it and I've made some tables and things but I
just can't get it all to work!
thanks!
