I don't have experience with access, but have considered having someone build the Database for me and teach me to use it. Why did you choose this route instead of using "Vending Solutions" or another software package? I manage a new venture and need to track and plan routes for just over 1,300 bulk machines with 4 products each. I'm currently using Microsoft Excel to track and calculate next service date. I then export the machines to service into a Mapping program to print routes for the week. This system is very labor intensive to keep the data current. Our plan is to grow to 5,000 machines, but using Excel will consume way too much time as well as being very susceptible to human error.

Hello,

I am in the process of building an application, web based, that will do everything you are talking about and more. If you would be interested in holding out until I am done, within the next month or so, I would love to cut you a deal and at the same time I would be more then willing to make suggestions or even tailor certain things for your company. It would be like having your own program written, but you wouldn't have to manage it. Let me know what you think!
