Microsoft Access is wonderful software that I have just had the pleasure of introducing myself to this week! I have to admit that I had never even heard of this software prior to this course, and after watching the lectures, I feel that it will be extremely helpful in future courses as well as the work environment.
The formatting of this software is fairly similar to Microsoft Excel, so with a little practice, I will be able to create databases for myself rather than simply trying to follow along with the instructor. The lectures that we watched this week took us step by step of the main points of Access. The scavenger hunt that was a part of the week’s exercises was not only helpful but also imperative in my opinion. Without knowing exactly what can be done on this software, you really don’t know what to look for or where to look.

The four sections of study for the week has been Databases and tables, queries, forms, and reports in Microsoft Access. Many of these concepts were pretty straight forward once you got your hands in there and began to work with this program. I particularly like the validation and criteria that can be set so you are able to narrow down all the data into usable sections. The hardest part of this aspect, for me is to find the correct language to type into the criteria in order to achieve what it is that I’m after.
