RAT,

Access will do what you are after. However the learning curve is fairly steep when you want to get past the wizards and basic stuff.

As a basic start you will need.

1 table ...later you may decide to use 2 or 3 linked (or related ) This table will have all the data for each port..ie Stuff that is specific to that port.

Then comes the fun of making the report.

You can draw lines, add text and, importantly, add the place holders for the data that changes.

You can then get fancy and make a form from which to select the required port and display the TOLD report ready for printing.

Next you may want to make a form that looks like the TOLD card but allows you to select a port and then edit the data.

Add bells, whistles etc etc as you get hooked on how powerful this program is.

Have fun
