Question for Excel/Access 2007 experts

I need to create one database with the following fields:

Name
Date
Company
Amount1
Amount2
Total

That's the easy part. Now I need a way to generate views sorted by whatever fields I specify. For example, I need an easy way to sort the data in the database by date like this:

10/30/09

John Doe Company X $34 $56 $90
Alice Company Y $32 $56 $58
Bob Company X $35 $33 $68

10/31/09

Alice Company Y $12 $36 $48
Jane Company Y $39 $82 $121


Or an easy way to sort the information by name, like this:

Alice

10/30/09 Company Y $32 $56 $58
10/31/09 Company Y $12 $36 $48

Bob

10/30/09 Company X $35 $33 $68


Is this possible with Access 2007? Thanks in advance. I've never been good with MS office programs.

 
Access has a report designer which will let you sort and display the data just like that. Its a huge feature so it is little difficult to describe how to do it. I would recommend getting an access book.
