should I be using Excel or Access
I dont know if this project would work best in Excel or Access so Im
looking for advice. I need to track purchase orders and the invoices that are charged against them. There is an initial allocation made to each purchase order, more money may be allocated and money could be de-obligated. Heres what I need: ’ A table, form or sheet for each purchase order that would track o The initial allocation o Additional allocations o De-obligations of funds o Invoices charged against that purchase order o Subtotal of the allocations and de-allocations o Subtotal of the purchase orders o The subtotals of the purchase orders subtracted from the subtotal of the allocations o The percentage remaining of the allocated funds o The date of the allocation o The end date of the allocation period ’ Another table, form, sheet or report showing acting a summary sheet showing o Each purchase order o The amount remaining o The date of the last transaction ’ A report of all the purchase orders that are down to 25% of their allocation ’ A report of all the purchase orders that are going to expire in 30 days or less ’ Automatically send an e-mail when the numbers reach the 25% or the 30 days prior to expiration Again, the question is, do I do all of this is Excel or Access and then how? Thanks so much for all of your help and suggestions! Ellen |

I guess the answer to the first question is, which do you prefer? The second
would require some time and effort. Not sure if you could get that much info on a forum. That's why they have DBA's. :-) I would think Access may be the way to go, sicne it all can be doen there with less effort. However, I can't say I'd be able to provide all of the details...
