Hello everybody, Greetings from Waterford City in the south-east of Ireland.
I have developed a simple database in MS Access which I hope will be of some use to members of AbsoluteWrite.Com. I got the idea for the database when I read several threads on these boards from users asking about software for managing their note taking in an easy and efficient manner.
The database is comprised of four interconnected tables in a hierarchial design. In use these tables can be expanded or collapsed as required and this allows for a very efficient system in which to store your notes.
The primary key in each table is an incrementing autonumber, this field is required but has been set to 'Hidden' in each of the tables to avoid unwanted clutter. Each text field in the database is one hundred and fifty characters long.
I developed the database in Access 2003, but the format of the database is 'Office 2000'. It does not contain macros or code of any sort.
If you store your copy of the database on a USB flash drive you can carry your notes with you and access them on any computer running a compatible copy of Access.
Here are four screenshots showing how the database works:
The database itself can be downloaded from Here:
When you've downloaded the database you'll need WinZip or similar to uncompress the *.zip file. Once you've opened the database double click the 'Manuscripts' table to get started.
I hope somebody here will find a use for this, if so please let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
Regards,
The Th!ng.
