Here are three excellent Access Training Guides
provided by California State University, Northridge. These Access
training tutorials cover the fundamentals for both Access 2000 and
2003, and intermediate and advanced topics for Access 2003. Areas of
functionality and features taught by these training guides are as
follows: Getting Started, Starting Access 2003, Creating a New
Database, Naming Conventions, The Leszynski Naming Convention, Object
Naming Conventions, Designing a Table in Design View, Starting a New
Table, Data Types, Defining Data Fields, Entering Data in Datasheet
View, Creating a Query, Designing an Input Form, Producing a Report,
Relationships, Using Operators in Queries, Designing Advanced Queries,
and Creating Action Queries.
The Microsoft Access
database model consists of data, fields, records, and tables of
records, with each table being a flat file database. However this is
not all — in addition, in Access, the user can create and run queries,
and produce reports from the the fields, records, and tables. This
functionality, along with the ability to work with many tables having
common elements, makes Access a database management system (DBMS) and a
basic relational database.
