Microsoft Access Course

What Is Covered.                 
                  This Microsoft Access training course offers 10 increasingly challenging lessons covering the following:                  Lesson One:                                    The terminology used in an Access database, starting the Access  program opening an existing sample database, opening a table, query, form and report, entering a new record, finding records, sorting records, printing a report, closing a database.                   Lesson Two:                   Planning and design, relationships, design view, defining fields, data types and properties, creating a new blank database, creating tables, entering data using datasheet view, re-sizing columns, using the lookup wizard.                   Lesson Three:                   Defining relationships, creating a table using the datasheet view, formatting the datasheet, modifying the table design, using the input mask wizard, creating a database using a template, renaming an object.                   Lesson Four:                   Editing data in form and datasheet views, adding new records, using print preview, changing page orientation, printing a datasheet, enforcing referential integrity in a relationship, creating a relationship report, creating a form using the form tool, working with controls in form design, using AutoFormat, modifying properties in a form.                   Lesson Five:                                    Using advanced sort, using filter by form, importing a table from an external database using a junction table to resolve a many to many relationship, defining a composite (primary) key, adding a new field to a form, using a calculated control on a form, creating a multi-value field, creating an attachment field, creating a form using the form wizard.                   Lesson Six:                   Using query wizard, setting sort criteria, using 'or' and 'and' in queries, using expressions to set criteria, creating different types of queries, creating and naming a calculated field in a query using aggregate functions.                   Lesson Seven:                   Adding a field with data validation in a table, creating a form with subform, entering data using a form/subform combination, creating a split form, creating a basic report, using the report wizard, creating and modifying the design of a report, using the concatenate expression, inserting a logo to a report, adding a subreport to an existing report.                   Lesson Eight:                   Exporting an HTML document, understanding object dependencies, importing an excel spreadsheet into a table, exporting a spreadsheet, importing a text file into a table, using the analyse table function, using the analyse performance function, using the database documenter.                   Lesson Nine:                   Adding a chart to a form, modifying a chart in a form, creating a pivot table, creating a pivot chart, creating a switchboard, changing the tab order in a form, displaying the current date and time in a form, applying conditional formatting to a field.                   Lesson Ten:                                    Deselecting the automatic switchboard option, creating a macro, adding a control button to a form, backing up a database, viewing database properties, compacting and repairing a database, encrypting a database using a password, saving the database as a previous version, splitting a database.
