Microsoft
Office ACCESS**
Microsoft Access is a database tool for
gathering and understanding all your information—your
phone numbers, inventory, guest lists, whatever you’re
tracking—and providing a convenient way to enter,
navigate, and report out your data. Access can be used
for personal information management (PIM), in a small business
to organize and manage data, or in an enterprise to communicate
with servers.
**For Access 2003 users, while we do use
the 2010 environment, the instructor will refer to all
versions of Access and highlight the minor differences.
Handouts include references to all versions of Access.
