| Who knows how to use these damn things?  What I'm trying to do is a database of sites that we can refer to for bookings, I want in it Name of site Name of Contact Telephone Number Email address Site address Town County Now if I am right, with a data base you can filter these in Alphabetical order, so its easy to find the site name, the county Etc So, who can let me into the secret of working the bleeding things  _________________ Keeping Leapys boat sailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

Easiest way is to look at the ones already built and adapt/ change them

| Cheers Steve,
Decided to scrap the idea now and just put them in a file or a spreadsheet.
Trouble is I'm on Ubuntu and can't find a suitable package that can read microsoft's file extensions so would make it hard sharing the file anyway, plus some used Mac's, probably have another problem there _________________ Keeping Leapys boat sailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |
