Hi. I usually only create in Excel. I have taken a college course in Access and find it to be a little confusing. If you have it on your computer, try it. If you have any questions Microsoft Office online is very helpful.
In my opinion, I would only offer this as a service if you are 100% confident in the product. Access in particular is very challenging at the best of times, and when you're completing a project remotely it can be even more difficult.
Try it out for yourself first, i.e pehaps create a contacts database etc, and see how you feel about it.
Don't risk offering something that you can't delivery to the clients satisfaction, concentrate on your strengths and build up a strong service :O)
Kelly, you are so right. To do anything with any substance you have to get into many-to-many relationships (involves taking two main tables and linking them into a third table). It can get complicated really quickly and it is easy to get in over your head.
I have used Access for several years, so I am familiar with how to utilize it. I agree with some of the other posts that Access can be challenging, so it's important to be sure you know exactly what the client wants/needs.
