This is a question which refers to filling in forms and using forms in Form View in the Microsoft Access 2003 software for creating databases instead of using Microsoft Excel.

The form has to be based on an existing table in order for you to be able to enter data.  You should have a table with the various fields (or columns) ready to go.  You can create a form based on that table, and you can pick which fields will be filled in via the form.\n\nForm view simply refers to the form itself, ready to use, as opposed to Design view, where you're setting up the look of the form (i.e. spacing, size of the boxes, etc.).

You can try going to http://www.download.com and see what you can find in there. They have everything from FREE-ware, shareware to stuff you have to pay for. It's DEFINITELY worth a look-see ;)\n\nAnd, yes, Access is designed to do exactly what you are wanting to do. If you don't have it then go get the M$ OFFICE Suite and some books on the program from your local bookstore to learn how to use it.\n\nOR you can try http://openoffice.org and see what they have there. I've only heard about it but it comes to me as highly recommended.

Microsoft Access software can do that.

In order to be able to fill out PDF forms on the computer the person who created the PDF file would have had to actually create them as an electronic form. Unfortunately many people/organizations don't know how and/or don't take the time to do that...so you're stuck with the old fashioned method. When they do it correctly, you can just open the file in Adobe Reader and can click in the form fields.\n\nIf you want to create your own forms, you would need Adobe Acrobat Professional.\n\nI'm afraid I can't help with the other problem.

access can import many types of files,  it looks for a hard carraige return to seperate each records out.  You can seperate the fields with comma's.  Then import them into access.  This might not be an easier solution, please let me know if you have any questions. \n\nHope this helps.

You can use Tables from MS Access or MS SQL Server Already loaded with Data

Actually, there is a way, sort of.\n\nIn the Office Resource kit, there is a tool that will allow you to share an Access database (mdb) with other users, basically making your access db into an executable.\n\nCourse, you need the office Developer edition (or was it really in a resource kit?).  I'd suggest you do a search on microsoft.com's knowledge base.

Off course, several ways..\n- Export your database into Excel file (xls or csv or ... ) and open it in Excel\n- In Excel go to Data > Import Externat data > new database query\n- Copy and paste\n\nRead my profile, I am the XLMan

Assuming you are using VB6 and your data is in Columns with headings on top you can do the following.\n\nPlace a Data component on your form. Its normally  the second last component in your tool box. Then place 4 text boxes on your form.\n\nclick on your Data component and change the properties as follows.\nConnect =>set to Excel 5.0 \nDataBaseName => (Brows to the excel file that has the data)\nRecordSet => Specify the page in excel eg. Sheet1\n\nNow click on each text box one at at time and change the values as follows.\nDataSource => Data1 or whatever you called your Data component\nDataField =>Select the heading for the column you want to view. Select a different one for each text box, X values and Y values\n\nNow Run your project \nBy clicking the forward and reverse buttons you can scroll through your data. Read the help menus to write the rest of your program.\n\nI hope this helps\nGood luck.

you will need to use ASP for dynamically creating your pages. you would setup a DSN (data source pointer) that links to your excel document using the JET driver probably. you would then be able to use ASP to query inside your excel sheet to populate your HTML form fields.\n\na better way forward would be to use a real database. you could start by importing your excel spreadsheet into Access. you would again setup a DSN/ODBC datasource to your MDB Access file, but inside ASP, you would then use ADO objects to use SQL to query your MDB for populating the fields.\n\nthere is plenty of info out there on this if you google.

Since your requirement is simple, I suggest you to better to develop a small program by yourself by using MS Excel or MS Access. These softwares are available in all the PCs.

While what you want to do could be done with Access, programming Access to do it -- make the forms, the queries and reports needed -- is very difficult, if you don't have fairly advanced database / Access skills.\n\nAlso, you're going to want this product to have rock-solid support -- because once you start using it, you'll be tied to it, and if it fails, you'll need it fixed ASAP.\n\nAs a result, you're not going to find something like what you are asking for out there for free, and having it custom programmed is going to cost more than buying it off the shelf -- at least, if the programmer is worth his salt.\n\nInstead, you should look for an off-the-shelf solution.\n\nQuickbooks -- http://www.intuit.com -- is one option; it technically is bookkeeping software, but it has advanced inventory management features and can handle purchase orders / autodepleting inventory based on purchase orders.\n\nIt will cost several hundred dollars to purchase, but you will find, again, that even so, it's one of the more affordable solutions.\n\nShort of that, there are lots of other software packages out there; most will cost even more than Quickbooks.\n\nA final option might be to find a college student who is in a database administration or programming course, and see if he's be willing to build this for you on the cheap. But remember, you get what you pay for.

Well don't know the version of access you are using...\n\nFor Access 2003\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HP051874901033.aspx

From what I can tell this is actually a fairly basic Access program (unless you want it to automatically calculate interest), however it seems you are asking how to build the whole thing; something that would take too long to explain here (I would also need additional information). \n\nI would suggest using an online tutorial (the one below looks pretty good if you have Access 2000) to learn how to use Access. This way, you can build your program however you want--since you are the only one who knows exactly what you have in mind.

Access has limits in it's database it's not ment to be a bussiness database thats what sql is for...\nhttp://databases.about.com/cs/tutorials/a/widgetmenu.htm

Depends on the file that needs to be imported, and how you need to import it.  Enterprise manger comes with an import wizard that you can use to import information.  sometimes it's easier to just import the whole thing and delete what you don't need/want.\n\nanother way would be to make the file into a CVS and import that into access, then by using a linked table, export the table to SQL.

The MSDE version of SQL doesn't come with an interface to create a database.  Without SQL Enterprise Manager you need to use MS Access and create a project (.adp extension in Access).  Using that process, Access runs through a setup where you specify the local instance of SQL Server ... and once it creates the SQL database, you can add tables and views through the MS Access interface.  Good luck!
