New difficulties
Finally I'm almost about to finish up the database. I'm planning to create a button for the user to browse files to attach the coach's photo, but because of limited time, I decided to simplify it - A default blank image with 'Add image here' in the centre has been made and I've instructed in the home page so that the user can manually insert images her/himself.Also I still couldn't find a way to match customers' birthday to current date and then notify the user. Hence such feature will be dropped as I've discussed with my client and he said its not the essential function he needs from a database.
Latest problems encountered and solved
I've got stuck on two places a while ago which now I've managed to overcome them after conducting some research.
1. Help page - I was planning to incorporate a composing email sort of template in to the form 'Help' that shows up in the beginning so people can fill in the information within the database and simply click send button to forward any inquiries and feedbacks to my email. However through research I haven't found a perfect solution to my situation, but instead,I figured out that I can construct a hyperlink that opens outlook with receiver box filled in for you. Even though it's a bit more troublesome but since I have not got enough time and it still functions alright, it's the best solution for now.
2. Email template - was about to integrate a sort of email template within the database, but all of it was unnecessary when I found out about hyperlink where you can link directly to sending an email by outlook. Convenient, simple.
