Training Course on Microsoft Access

Introduction

Data is everywhere. Whether you are at the grocery store, office, laboratory, classroom, or ballpark, you are awash in data: prices, schedules, performance measures, lab results, recipes, contact information, quality metrics, market indices, grades, and statistics.

A relational database application such as Microsoft Office Access can help you and your organization collect and manage large amounts of data. Access is a versatile tool. You can use it as a personal data management tool (for your use alone) or you can use it as a construction set to develop applications for an entire department or organization. In this course, you will use Access to manage your data, including creating a new database; constructing tables; designing forms and reports; and creating queries to join, filter, and sort data.

Objective

• Identify the terminology and functions common to most database management systems.
• Identify the qualities of valuable information.
• Identify the elements of good database design.
• Create and use tables.
• Create and use queries.
• Create simple reports and forms.
• Use the Access online Help feature.
• Discuss ethical issues connected to the use of databases.
