Description

This database template is for tracking your Holiday Greeting Cards. The template also includes 3 videos in addition to the introduction video.

Video 1 is a free TechHelp video. I will show you how to track your Christmas Card list in Microsoft Access. We will modify my free customer database so you can see who is on your list. We'll make mailing labels for the people on the list. We'll use an update query to track the last date we sent cards out to each person, and we'll use an append query to put a note in their contact history so you can see all of the times in the past you've sent them cards. 

Video 2 is the Members Only Extended Cut TechHelp Video. We will see how to create different greetings for card recipients, such as Joe Smith, Joe & Sue Smith, Joe Smith & Sue Jones, The Smith Family, or whatever else you'd like. You can customize the greeting for each recipient. We'll also use conditional formatting to easily see who is missing address data.

Video 3 is a Developer Walkthru of the extra features in the template, such as printing postcards, customizing the design and layout of the postcards, manually positioning fields, changing fonts with the Windows Font Dialog Box, duplicating records, and lots more. Watch the introduction video (00) above for complete details.

Sample Database

If you'd like to download a sample copy of the database template, you can do so here. This is a non-editable version of the template which will let you see it work in action. The sample database requires 64-bit Access 2013 or higher. If you're still using 32-bit Office, read this.

License

For internal use only. This template does NOT come with a royalty-free license. You may only customize the template for your business needs and for use within your organization at one location ONLY. You may not resell or distribute any form of this template to others without express written permission.

Not a Finished Product

Please keep in mind that most of my template databases are not designed to be finished products that are ready to go in a working environment. My templates are meant as starting points for you to customize for yourself so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. This requires that you have a basic understanding of Microsoft Access development. To work on most of my databases you should have completed my Access Beginner series and the first couple levels of my Expert series at a minimum. Most of my databases require knowledge of SQL and VBA as well. 

Customize For Your Needs

If you would like to discuss customizing this template for your needs, and integrating it into your current setup, please see my consulting page for details. While I no longer accept custom jobs that are specific to a single user, I may include your features in a future version of this template if they have mass appeal. If you are looking for custom enhancements made to this template just for you, visit my Developer Network.

Technical Support

Please note that technical support is NOT guaranteed for any of my courses, seminars, or templates. If you require help with modifying this template, you may post a question in the Forums, however an answer to your question is not guaranteed. If this template comes with an accompanying Seminar, then you should purchase that Seminar to see how the database was constructed. If not, then you should have taken the suggested courses. Most of my templates are designed on a Developer level and you should have a thorough understanding of SQL and VBA before attempting to modify them. If you have a problem with one of my databases, I will only support the unmodified database exactly as it's downloaded from my site. If you have modified it in any way, it may not be something I can help you with. You can post in the Forums, and I may be able to help you, but if the issue doesn't exist in my unmodified database, it's not something I can support.
