I bought my first PC in 1987 and dabbled in BASIC. I learned Word Perfect. I went to work in accounting at a lumberyard in 1991. The software we used was good, but its sales order numbers rolled over at 99999, so we couldn’t keep order history very long. I bought an Access 2.0 book shortly before Access was available in the Office 95 suite. I started studying and reading and experimenting; it was long before the Google machine and AI could give good answers. I created tables to import and append our orders and order detail, inventory, etc. It used a criteria form to pull up orders and another form to pull up the orders by their order detail. The criteria in the forms built the SQL string based on the information that was filled in—ignoring the empty fields. It was a work in progress for 25 years until I changed jobs in 2021.  Eventually, we either printed or emailed all the monthly A/R statements with copies of the invoices. At the yearend, the order tables were copied and named with the ‘year’, allowing the user to select the year in the criteria form and search for orders back to 1996. Also imported A/P data; payroll data and printed the W2s, etc. at yearend. Importing and appending the data into Access was the link between a very stable (old) database program running on a Linux server and a much more modern friendly user interface in Access in a Windows environment. As Richard has said, the advantage to Access is you can put the Legos together and make it work the way you want it, too. At my current job, I’m continuing my journey with the help of Access Learning Zone and Tech Help videos. Thank you, Richard!!
