Is there anyone here that can make an easy workflow database for me?

I would like the ability to track Customers, Products, and Orders. I would like to have buttons to make new entries for each of the 3 categories listed below. And actually if you can just work some of your magic I want to make this almost dummy proof and as simple as it can be.

Customers:
"a picture of them"
First Name
Last Name
Address
City
Zip
Phone
all orders ever placed > and the ability to see the products for each order
a running Total of amount ever spent
a running total of Discount amount

Products:
Name of product
Product ID
Cost of Product
Fabric Color

Orders: (I'm thinking, make this look like an invoice)
Order #
Date of order
Name of customer
Product Desc.
Quantity
Rate
Amount
Tax
Total
personalization info
personalization color
personalization style

Orders are split into 'Order Header' and 'Order Detail' - In order detail you store the order lines for each order. The header hold everything together, and links the orders back to the customer. For example;

OrderHeader
OrderNumber
CustomerID
OrderDate
Status
Paid
Quantity
Rate
Amount
Tax
Total

OrderDetail
OrderNumber
LineID
ProductID
Product Desc.
Quantity
Rate
Amount
Tax
Total
personalization info
personalization color
personalization style

You need to get the structure right before you think about designing forms etc. What I'll say is that it might be worth your while to look at a simple bookkeeping program, which will do all of this for you.

okay thanks, JH I will adjust and Art I will call you in a min.

Also I do have quickbooks but this is all for my wife. She runs a small thirty-one business and she needed something small, and cheap to keep a track of customers more or less.

I may look into it though
