not much, I have basic excel skills. If needed I am looking to hire someone to help me write this database.
If you choose to hire someone, here is a link to a section of this forum where you can get a quote (I believe, have never used it so).

The best place to start with any database is to figure out the parts, ie the functions you need it to do. Google them on an individual basis, along with the type of access you use. For instance Google:
"Access 2007 importing text delimited files"
After you have learned how to do that, figure out your next step. Practice is the best way to learn.
Hope this helps,
Dan
