About this course

Microsoft Access Foundations teaches you to design and use a real desktop database. You build the database of a fictional bike rental step by step: choose data types and field properties, set primary keys, split a flat Excel list into related tables and enforce referential integrity. Then you query it with the design grid: criteria, AND/OR rows, wildcards, date filters, calculated fields with IIf, joins, totals queries, parameters and top values. Finally you work with action queries, forms with subforms, grouped reports with running sums and data imports. Every answer is checked instantly, and the first lesson is free.
