Many people think of databases as simply a program for storing and accessing information, failing to understand the true potential and organisational benefits that can be gained by using their extensive number of other functions. This comprehensive resource package will help you to harness this potential by teaching you not only to use a database, but how to create one as well.  In this way you will come to understand much more about how databases are designed to work, and how different functionalities are built into databases to maximise their value and effectiveness for certain organisations.

More than simply a software manual, the package includes practical exercises to help ZoomText and JAWS users learn shortcut keys for a wide range of functions.  Step by step instructions make this an essential reference for both beginner level and previous users of Access wishing to update their skills to the new version of the program.

Specifically, the resource will enable you to:

• Understand the components of a database and how they are designed.
• Become familiar with the changes introduced to this version of Microsoft Access.
• Navigate through records and access and maintain data.
• Design and create databases of up to two tables. This includes using functions such as creating tables, specifying field properties, linking tables with the relationship feature, inserting lookup tables and many others
• Enter new records into a database.
• Create and use forms for data entry and navigation.
• Create and use queries and reports.
