Access Logbook
Has anyone made an e-logbook in Microsoft Access? I've done one in Excel that I like but there are somethings I can't do in it. One of my friends recommended Access but I haven't the slightest clue how to use it. Anyone know?

What it will do for you is create spreadsheets, similar to excel, but you have a few options. You will enter your information in a "form," instead of just typing it into excel. If you get technical with it, you can divide your times and sort them in a cabazillion different ways. It's neat once you know the details of it, but there is no way in hell I would take the time to create an e-logbook with it.
Just use excel, or if you want to spend some bucks get LogBook Pro or SafeLog.

There are people who get degrees in how to build databases...
If you really want to "know" access, take a class. Buying a book and learning that way is pretty hard.
I took a bunch of database classes in college. I use LBP. It's way too much trouble to try to build my own, and LBP gives me more functionality. Not an ad for the product, just stating my position. Good luck.
