Plan a Database Access 2007

Before you should even really start access, you need to decide what you want to make your database about. You really need to get clear in your head what you all want to include in your database. And then you could get into the features and the functions of access later, so it always helps me before I design a database, even a simple database, I think about what do I need a list of? And I’m going to ahead I’m going to write that down.
That’s what my whole database is going to be about, so I need a list of work contacts. Then I ask myself what details do I need to have about them? Okay, well if I’m gathering my work contacts, I need to have their name, more specifically, I need to have their first name and their last name and I need to have their title, and their company, and their address and more specifically probably their street address, their city, their state, their zip code, and their work phone number. Okay. If I want to add something later, or if I think there’s something when I’m designing my database, then I can go ahead and put that in. but this is an excellent list that’s going to help me out in beginning to design my database.
