Creating A Payment Database 1

I'm attempting to create a database that tracks payments based on monthly or weekly installments and could use some assistance. Example: If the student belongs to Room 5 their cost is $500 per month. The payment is due on the 4th, if they pay $275, the remainder amount is transferred forward and is due on the next due day of the 4th.

I believe I have create the table structure and relationship, but I can't figure out how to accept a partial payment and have the due date advanced to the next month.

Does anyone have any examples of this type of database?

Is this something that Access can do?

Since my prior post failed, what you need is a way to track [blue]running sum of payments[/blue] versus [blue]running sum of cost.[/blue] This is a direct parallel of a bank account comprising Debits & Credits.

I see two tables, one comprising the student info (main table) and one comprising the two running sums above (the many table). The difference of course, is the students balance!
