Access - Database Project

Candler

I have used Word and Excel to an ad nauseum degree, but was not very familiar with Access and using databases.  After going through the course material, I was able to import external data, build tables, create queries, forms, and finally reports.  I can absolutely see the value in using databases to manipulate huge sums of data into quick reports highlighting areas of one's business or endeavour.

The one area that I feel increases the functionality of using the database is the Criteria area, used in sorting Queries.  You can take data from a table, sort it endless variety of ways to create the end-result that you are looking for.  Being able to use tables, queries, forms, and reports can give a business extreme power to coordinate information in a very short period of time.
