Microsoft Access 365 (Intermediate)

  • Course duration

    One day: 9.30am to 4.30pm

  • Course description

    Microsoft Access is a database software application. It is a tool for storing information which can then be retrieved using reports and queries.

    The Intermediate Access course introduces the user to some of the more complex functionality of Access. The properties of the fields in a table are formatted so to restrict the data that can be entered. Sub Forms are created to enter information. Queries are produced using prompts and wildcards and reports created to summarise information.
