Hi Everyone,
I am an in home carer that manages medications for a number of old people's medication and I want to keep track of when I should be going to pick up their medication from the pharmacy I have an excel sheet to keep track of them for me but I would like to be able to give a list to a new co-worker so she can go and pick up the medicines from the local pharmacy.
So the table looks like this
[Name] [Last Picked Up] [Pharmacy Name] [Number of days Medication] [Next Pick Up date]
Ideally I would like to have a system whereby I could print a list of today's pick ups (a sort of checklist) and when they are picked up I would like to have a button which would calculate the next repeat date based on the number of days medication received.
I know this is possible to setup with auto-filters in excel but I just think that if I could design a nice tidy Access database errors would be minimized. Can anyone help me on how i should do this I'm lost when it comes to queries, reports and relationship design.
Please ask me to clarify if i'm not being clear anywhere
Thanks
