This document discusses using an Access database to create tools for a sales initiative. It describes running a query to combine data from three tables on facilities, owners, and tanks. A form is then created to display comprehensive facility data and allow input of sales activities. Finally, a report is created to display the results of the sales initiative by facility, organizing data on sales activities and results.
