Access 2003 Intermediate

Duration
2 days

Course Objectives
Most databases will require a number of linked tables, and on this course delegates will learn the principles of database design and table relationships, and how to apply these in Access. Queries and reports relating to multiple tables will be built. In addition, delegates will create Action queries to update data and learn how to produce highly customised forms and reports.

This is a hands-on course containing varied and relevant exercises for delegates to practise and reinforce the techniques learnt.
