Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Access 2002, 9780789729194 (0789729199), Que, 2003

Microsoft Access 2002 is a powerful, relational database software package that makes it easy to create and manage complex databases. With Access, users can create a database quickly from scratch or by using an Access database Wizard. Once the database is created, Access provides all the tools needed to enter and manipulate data. With the help of the Absolute Beginner's Guide, readers are able to quickly start a new database by using the Database Wizard, create tables from scratch or by using a Wizard, add and edit database information by using both tables and forms and manipulate data in a number of tables by using queries and reports. The book assumes absolutely no prior knowledge of the topic, and learning is easy because of the book's lighthearted but no-nonsense style. It serves as an excellent resource for users who are completely new to Access 2002 or who are upgrading from a previous version of the software.

Maybe you picked up this book because you already know you want to learn about Access, Microsoft's user-friendly database for the Windows operating system. Or, perhaps you know that you're drowning in a sea of information and vaguely think that Access might be the answer. Then again, maybe you just liked the cover. Whatever the reason, welcome! We think you've come to the right place.

As we said, Access is a database. What does that mean? You'll learn more in this book, but for now, think of Access as a handy place to store and organize things. You can store almost anything you want in an Access database, including

Your recipe collection
Pictures of your pets
The inventory records for your home-based business
Birthdays and addresses of friends and relatives
The author and title of every book you own
Just about anything else you can think of

Databases are used by everyone from grandmothers to major corporations. If you've never used a database before, don't worry. Access is the friendliest and easiest-to-use database on the market today. If you can click a mouse and type, you can use Access.
