Buy MS Money for $20, tell them you programmed it yourself. Honestly, if your business is small enough, I'd recommend a packaged bookkeeping app.

Good luck.

something that can monitor budgets.

Sorry, let me rephrase: make them use an Excel spreadsheet. I think there's no good examples of this in Access because Access isn't the best place to store simple financial data.

If you're looking for general database practice, look up any other database type. The basics are the same whether you're doing financial data or counting cows; it's all "CRUD" programming (create read update delete).

Have an excellent day.

Sry pseale but I must disagree, there are several accounting systems on the market, written in access - Yes I can run my business - for one.
In Danmark we have 2 or 3 compeeting. One such system is an open source system, even, as I mantioned earlier.
