Sorry about the title didnt know how to describe what i wanted.
So here is my issue I have been asked to design a capacity planning tool and have been throwing around ideas on how to go about it.
I have made one before in Excel which worked fine until it came time to add more fields and options.
This solution has to be able to store multiple Staff member details with a skills matrix for various skills (I have done this part in Access)
Then it needs to store Projects Data with budget ($ and Hours) location and various other data. I will probably do this in Access too.
The problem arises when I then have to design a solution for team leaders to allocate staff members to a certain project for a certain amount of hours per week.
This needs to validate against the budgeted hours for the job and the maximum hours the staff member can work
So my question is... is there a way to do this easily in Access with instant feedback on the validation of the hours or should i use Access and Excel combined?
Sorry if this is far too vague let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
