Auto Numbering
Hi
I am trying to create a database in Excel (yes, i know i should probably be using Access, but unfortunately the firm i work with are too tight to purchase it for everyone!) and trying to make it relational. The aim (i think) is to have 3 databases, one for contact information (this would include a list of clients, other Estate Agents and applicant details), one to store a list of properties which are available, under offer, or let, in our region and a third database to show job details (ie: what the job was, how much, when started, when completed, who was in charge etc). What i need to know is if it is possible to link each database and how do i go about it. Each of the databases would have something in common with each other i.e. the name of the Estate Agent dealing with a specific property would be included on the property database and on the contact database. In addition to this if our company was dealing with a specific property then a job number would be allocated to the property and the job details and number would reside on the Job database. Do i need to give each individual record an ID (as in Access), or can i just link via the Estate Agent's name or, in the case of the job database, via the job number. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Many thanks Nic |
