Hi all,
I want to make a small database program to manage documentation, ie: track
versions, check-in check-out features, that sort of thing, as well as
contain Helpdesk features. We use MS Access for the PC. Has anyone ever
done this sort of thing? Any tips, samples you can direct me to. Thanks
in advance!
