This relational database template consists of the Projects file and the Project Tasks file. These two database files work together to keep track of projects and the specific tasks that need to be accomplished to complete each project. The Projects file keeps track of general information such as project name, status, description, milestones, and resources. The Project Tasks file contains details about the specific tasks, such as the task's status, cost, and headcount.
How to u
se this template
Start by defining the whole project in the Projects database. Then, name each task and fill out as much of the other information as you know. If you click the arrow button to the right of the task information, the Project Tasks database is opened and brought to the front. Finish filling out the task information, and then click the arrow button to the right of the Project Name to return to the Projects file.

Grganize the data. For instance, the report layout included in the Project Tasks file shows the tasks for each person on the team. You might want to organize the tasks by date or status.
If you have a regular team, you might want to use a value list to help you enter their names in the Task Manager and Project Manager fields.
