I am searching for a better way to keep track of employee payroll and
statistics. I understand the concepts of DB design pretty well, building
tables and queries, normalization, etc. However, I have a vision of how I
would like this to work but I have no idea how to go about it so I am hoping
that someone can help me.

Simply put, I would like to use a GUI (like a form in Access) to input data
(hrs worked, commission, overtime, etc.) into an empty database. I would
like there to be a list of employees, you could find the one you need, bring
it up, and input the data into appropriate text boxes. Those text boxes
would send that data to the empty DB for that user. Make sense? Is this
just a pipe dream?

Development tutorials which walk you through the process of creating an
Access application.
