Overview/Description
Microsoft Office Access 2007 makes it easy for you to create and manipulate database tables. You can choose between a Datasheet view and a Design view to create tables from scratch, or you can base your tables on one of the many pre-defined templates. The introduction of the Ribbon and contextual tabs in Access 2007 makes table creation even more intuitive, and provides you with easier data manipulation techniques. This course explains the use of table templates, Design and Datasheet views, field creation, data types, and modifiable properties, and demonstrates the use of masked input fields and indexing. The course also explores viewing, editing, navigating, sorting, finding, and filtering records, in addition to printing data and implementing and maintaining table relationships.
