To affect something is to change or influence it, To effect something is a rather formal way of saying `to make it happen'.
A good website to check out for words that confuse you like effect and affect. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/gra...g_spelhomo.html |

To put it in another way...affect is a verb, effect is a noun.
