We are a friendly small independent London bookshop who use an Access database for our sales data. It's Access 2003 with some idiosyncratic coding put into it in 20016. It needs an upgrade - probably to Access 2016, or maybe 2013. In fact, today it just died.
Even before itsuntimely death, we needed to do something with this poor little database, which I am told is a quite simple one. We need to generate more reports than we used to, and we don't know how to configure it to do more reports. We also need a calendar add-on stuck onto it, as we need date-specifit sales figures: daily totals, monthly totals, totals within times, totals by category, and VAT. Also, on the screen itself, we calculate the sales totals of a customer's purchase.
At any rate, we have written out our requirements in a four-page document, and also want to go through it in person, to to show how we use it, and the reports we need. Also we can send you a copy of the database.
Whew, I hope that makes sense. I have a few questions:
- Are you available at the moment? If so, how soon could you start on it?
- I'd like to meet you in person to show you the context in which the database is used, namely behind a till, and certain facets of its use are really only showable in person. I'm back at work next Monday (30thMay) - of course the database died when I'm on holiday in the Dales (sod's law).
- what would the cost be - or, what information do you need to give us a price?
Thanks for looking at this, and hope to hear from you - sending good wishes,
Christina
