Course description
Overview:

Students will learn the basic skills necessary to begin using Access 2000. They will design and create databases, tables, queries, forms, and reports. This course contributes toward the Microsoft Proficiency Guidelines for Access 2000.

Prerequisites:

Windows 95: Introduction; Windows 98: Introduction; or Windows 98: Making the Transition, or equivalent knowledge.

Delivery method:

Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.

Benefits:

Students will learn how to create and use database objects, including tables, queries, forms, and reports.

Target student:

Students enrolling in this course should understand the basic concepts involved in working with a personal computer (PC). For example, students should be familiar with terms such as computer memory, data files, and program files. Students should also be familiar with the components that make up the PC, including input, output, and storage devices. Students should also be fairly comfortable working in the Windows environment. No prior knowledge of databases or Access is assumed.

What's next:

Access 2000: Introduction is the first course in this series. Access 2000: Intermediate, the next course in this series, teaches students how to enhance their database designs by using the principles of normalization and table relationships. Students also learn how to query multiple tables for data that is used in customized forms and reports. Students who want to learn advanced features can take the third course in this series, Access 2000: Advanced. In that course, students learn to create advanced queries, create more efficient forms and reports, and work with macros. The final course in this series, Access 2000: Application Development, teaches students to create custom applications.
