Build an Accounts Payable Database in Access, Part 1

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to set up an accounts payable tracking system, including how to manage payees in a streamlined table structure, create and categorize payees, and update your forms with new fields for company names and categories. We will also use a bit of optional VBA to dynamically display or hide category options based on payee status.
