You will learn the key elements of a Microsoft Access database and how it has advantages over Microsoft Excel. The scheduled courses are at Southampton (Whiteley), but we can provide onsite training with 4 or more delegates using our equipment.
Microsoft Access is a desktop application that can be configured to meet most business needs. It has many benefits over Excel functionality but needs to configured correctly to get the best results. The course will cover the basic operations of an Access database program and the advantages of using a relational database over and Excel spreadsheet. The course is informal but structured, and you will be encouraged to ask questions throughout.
You want to learn the basic functionality of an Access database including creating and editing new tables, relationships, forms, queries and reports and inputting and editing data. The course will provide a thorough understanding of detailed elements plus best practice techniques.
There are usually between 3 and 6 delegates on the course, all from different companies. Some delegates have used Access before but have had no formal training. Others have not used Access but want to understand the differences, advantages and disadvantages between Access and Excel. We’ll have a 15 minute break in the morning and afternoon and approximately 45 minutes for lunch. Database(s) created on the course will be sent to you on completion for your reference.
