Building a Vehicle Maintenance Database in Microsoft Access. Log Service, Costs, Dates, Mileage.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to set up a database for tracking the maintenance on your vehicles: cars, trucks, whatever. Actually, this database would work for tracking maintenance of any kind of equipment.

Marlon from Akron, Ohio (a Platinum Member) asks: I'm trying to build a database in Microsoft Access to track my company's auto fleet and the associated maintenance for each vehicle. How do you recommend I get started? I'm having a hard time picturing the tables and relationships. I love what you did with yesterday's videos about the Cascading Combo Boxes. Could I do the same thing for car make and model?

Silver Members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members are going to see how to add a regular maintenance table and track upcoming maintenance items and costs. We'll learn how to change the contents of a subform dynamically to swap between the maintenance history and upcoming items.
