Seeking rudamentary advice

Sep 21st, 2007

Folks,

Many years ago I worked as a dBase III programmer. In my early 30's I left the field of IT to persue another career. Today I am required to develop databases for a variety of stand-alone (PC) applications. I have Access to construct the database but I need advice on if and how I can write routines to add records, update, select based on criteria, etc.

I am hoping to use a simple tool with either pseudo-english commands (as with dBase), wysiwig or some other relatively simple method. And no, I cannot contract the work to a professional

. Wouldn't I be so lucky.

Those of you who are familiar with dBase will hopefully be able to steer me in the right direction.

Thank you and kind regards,
Doonie
