From: tiffany_m on 23 Apr 2010 17:52 I am looking for something to help a pet food bank keep track of their customers from month to month. We keep track of name, address, phone, email, up to 5 cats and 4 dogs, including pets name, species, breed, weight, age, and spayed/neutered, the amount of food given, any special needs, and what requirements that have not been met yet. I was thinking Access would have what I'm looking for but I don't know much about it to even know where to begin. ANY help would be beneficial and greatly appreciated. We would also need to be able to print out information on index cards or labels that contain the immediate information like: owner last and first name, pet name, species, weight, food alotted.

That's very narrow and specific; most templates are much broader and more general. It's best to think of Access, not as a set of finished products, but as a toolkit from which you can build something specific for your business; i.e. you don't get a garden storage shed, but rather lumber, nails, hammers, screws screwdrivers and hinges. <g> Access is very much capable of doing what you ask; a database I built is in use by a number of animal shelters, and tracks tens of thousands of animals, including most of the characteristics you mention. It would be overkill for your application (not to mention pretty expensive) but yes, you can do all this.
