I'm going crazy here

[famdamly]

I just want to set up a database where as a number is automatically assigned to each group of data. I would enter the data in various forms(that I've already sarted to make) at various times. Then I would have various ways of displaying the information. Then I would want to look up the data by say customer name or phone number. I must be missing something. I haven't figured out where to start. There must be something I could set up in just a few minutes. I give up. Please humble me.

You might want to look into using access instead of excel for what you want to do

Check out Help on functions like Autofilter, Advanced Filter, Grouping and
Outlining.

Debra Dalgleish's site would be a good place to start.
