This one-day hands-on course will provide delegates with a brief overview into how relational databases are constructed but concentrates more on techniques employed for data entry, the application of existing forms, using and creating queries to interrogate an existing database and to generate effective reports.
New or inexperienced users of Microsoft Access, those upgrading from a previous version of Access or migration from another relational database package wanting to work with an existing database application to generate queries and reports.
To fully benefit from this course, attendees are expected to be familiar with Windows and use of the keyboard and mouse. Knowledge of a previous relational database package would be useful, although not essential.
