[BLUG] OT: Need a database tutor

[Mark Warner]

I've been ordered to come up with a quick and dirty way to control 
incoming and outgoing inventory components at my workplace. All I need 
to do is keep track of the quantities on hand of about 100 item numbers. 
This information would be saved as a database file in a network share 
folder. MS Office on Windows is the environment.

IT is not my job description, but I'm nonetheless stuck with this task. 
I will be the one setting this up and maintaining it; others will need 
to access it only to see the quantities on hand.

My problem is I don't know squat about Access (or OO.o Base), and gave 
myself an anxiety attack today trying to stumble my way through setting 
this up, to no avail. No one else in this outfit knows Access, either. 
I'm an OS guy and a hardware guy, not an applications guy. I need 
someone to spend an evening or two with me getting me started and 
pointed in the right direction. I'm a bright guy and a quick study, but 
I'm totally flummoxed by this.

Reply-To: address is good. Name your price, and I'll see if they'll go 
for it. If I have to (and can afford it) I'll pay for it myself.
