Microsoft Access 2000 I: Building a Database
This course is the first of a two-course series that introduces you to all of Access’s basic features. The two courses together give a hands-on overview of Access 2000, Microsoft’s popular database program.
This course is designed to provide an understanding of how to begin creating an Access database. You willlearn about organizing data into tables and relating those tables so that the data in your database can be used for analysis.
This course assumes no first-hand knowledge of Access, so if you’re new to the application you will be able to tackle the modules without frustration. The next lesson covers the prerequisites for this course.

After completing the course, you will be able to use Access to:

1. View and use the database windows
