Best Program for these Tasks?
I'm looking at a new position, and there are some goals that management has for the person chosen. They would like to create a tracking system for employee certifications, to include notifications for when certifications expire, test results, etc. I'm hoping to be able to help get this going, and provide some ideas.
I've seen some templates for doing this through Excel, which I am very comfortable with. But I was wondering, is this better handled through Access? I'm less experienced at creating an Access database, but certainly willing to learn/try. We use SharePoint, so I'm guessing they will want it to be something that all employees who have certifications can access. How are notifications for something like this best handled? I've setup a group calendar in Outlook for basic notifications, but thought a calendar would be too limiting for something like this. I'm sure this is something that many people have created in the past, so I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Just want to have some ideas if asked, to make myself more competitive. Thanks in advance for any help and advice! |

Hi,
I believe something like that is better in access then excel. But it is different to excel and need to have a good understanding of what you need and how to structure this database for all what you want. To get started in access you first should write down what your goal ist and therefor you will find out what tables you need. But be aware this can take up some time. Maybe someone here has a similar database already created and can give you an idea of what tables you should be thinking of creating. Silentwolf |
