shipping database

[snlcoy]

I am looking for a simple Access application (2003 or higher), much like the
FedEx QuickShip program, except I only need the Shipping (with capability to
print shipping label) and View History features.

It would allow me to:
- enter sender name, phone number, email address
- enter ship to name, address, phone #, email address
- print a shipping label with the above information
- view shipping history for selected sender

I found several Access database templates. However, there is not one for
shipping. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

snlcoy,

Your need is quite specific and you are not likely to find the exact
database. (Especially here in a forum where people come to get help with
their exisitng databases.) You will find ones, as you have seen, that can
be modified with some elbow grease and some help for FREE from the folks
here. However, if you decide to hire someone please check your local
Universities and/or Colleges. CHECK and DOUBLE CHECK references.

Thanks for the suggestion Gina. I really didn't expect to find the exact
database. I am hoping someone will direct me to one with "closest"
functionality and I will customize with my limited elbow grease.

Unfortunately, nothing I have seen is close to that one.

I was also looking for a shipping database, and ended up building my own.
Mine has a lot more fields in it than what you wanted, but it works just
fine for me at work. All it does is just hold records of all the
shipment that our company ships either out or in, with dates and
carriers. I used queries to get quartely sales figures from different
companies we sell to, and have contact details of both cutomers and
shippers.
So if my boss wants to know about a particular shipment coming in from
Japan, I just do a quick seach on a said field and bring up all the
details of where it is, and who is handling it, etc.
