Order Database

[georj]

I want to create a database which will have client details, purchase orders with the products they are ordering with the amounts, cost for each part and the total cost for each amount of items orders and then the total cost for the purchase order. I am not sure how to do this if someone could please point me in the right direction. is it possible to add the info through a form with space for 20 products. cause at the end of each month i want to create a report to show what has been sold each month with the list of clients, purchase order number and total cost.
Hope this makes sense if not please let me know as i am really desperate to get this done.
thank you for your help in advance
regards Jason

If you have the Northwind sample database on your system (run a search), take a look at that for starters. It is based on a fictional food supplier, but a lot of what you want is in there.
