Ways to improve my Microsoft Access Database

[Chris100682]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Microsoft Access and I've recently created a very standard databse using Microsoft Access 2003. I've just managed to put a fully working clock on one of the forms in my database (this is my biggest acheievment in Access)

Can anyone think of any other ways to improve the databse or jazz it up a bit (example: a clock on my form showing a different time zone or a search engine box etc etc?) anything along these lines would be very welcome suggestions....

If you do suggest anything then I would be extermemy greatful and also appreciate if you can please leave me the step by step process (as I said I'm very new to Access)

Many Thanks
Chris

When I used to program databases I would never be looking for ways to "jazz" a database up, I'd be looking for ways to simplify and streamline it. If you start adding "jazzy" features you will end up with a large, slow and probably unstable database.

OH and can't offer any help with access either, I wrote databases in filemaker pro.

what do you mean by Jazz it up a bit?

You do realise that Access is a database app?

What are you trying to do with it? Adding things like clocks seems pointless to me.
