About this course

This course explains how to build databases and prepare reports with Microsoft Access from scratch. It starts with setting up the program interface, then creating tables and setting field properties. After that you create relationships between tables, then build queries and forms, and then create reports. It ends with creating the main menu, which brings the parts of the database together in one easy-to-use interface. The course suits anyone who needs to organize and manage data at work, such as employees, small business owners and people who want to build a simple database for their shop or business activity. You need no previous experience in programming or databases, because the course starts from the interface and explains every step with direct, step by step practice without complications. By the end, you will be able to design tables and the relationships between them, create professional queries, forms and reports, and build a main menu that makes your database easy for anyone else who uses it after you.

Expected outcomes

  • Ability to create and manage databases using Access.
  • Design professional forms and reports.
  • Analyze data using queries and table relationships.
  • Create an interactive main menu to facilitate database use.
