I need a new system at work

[thespeakerbox]

I handle alot of information at work. It inclused payments, contract amount amount and other things. I need to create a system that would let me search based on amounts to find contracts and invoices. I also need to keep record of their important documents.

I know this sounds open ended, but i honestly dont know where to start. What would i do to organize all this information electronically. my office is cluttered with papers. Would i create a database and with what language? Im open to learning new languages as well. Someone at work mentioned microsoft access, but im not sure? Can anyone help

Ummm there are countless ways to do this. Access, Quickbooks, peachtree, filemaker pro, mysql, MSSQL... list goes on and on and on.
Sorry there is no single, simple "answer"

From what you've said Access sounds like it would be sufficient but as Homerboy said, there is no single answer to this. I would recommend looking at a few of the suggestions and see which one makes most sense to you.
