I have been asked to tender for a job where some pages are to be generated
from information held in an Access database. I don't have any choice about
the database - it will simply hold information about museums - opening
times, address, contact details and so on.
The plan is that every time that the database is updated, someone can carry
out a siomple procedure to generate new copies of the information pages for
the specific museums.
Has anyone any ideas? I have limited database experience, and am just
starting to learn Visual Basic. My guess is that I need to make a template,
then to write a Visual Basic program to query the database and place
information in the template at the appropriate point. In order to do this I
would clearly have to learn some more stuff, so if it isn't the best
approach I don't want to waste too much time.
If I do need to learn more about databases and Visual Basic, I would
appreciate any pointers as to what to concentrate on first so I don't spend
a long time floundering around.
