Hi i am new to access and usually build my data on excel but was thinking access may be a better option for my new task, let me give you some details of what i am trying to do.

i am trying to create a database that will allow for a choice of 1st 2nd and 3rd choice for there favourite place to work. for example i am a nurse and my 3 choices could be 1st choice hospital 1 ward 5
2nd choice hospital 1 ward 2
3rd choice hospital 3 ward 10

this would be for around 11,000 entries so its a big database and it would be used by several staff at the same time so it needs to be able to work from a shared area.

my aim is if hospital 1 ward 5 need a nurse i can obtain a list of staff who prefer to work in that area

Is this possible. please help i am new to access
