#10 MS Access Ribbon - Getting Started (4min 13sec) - Knowing your way around the Access environment will make learning and using Access much easier.

 

#11 MS Access Working with Databases and Objects (2min 37sec) - Databases can include forms for entering data, queries for searching within it, reports for analyzing it, and tables for storing it. Whenever you work with your database, you are working with many of these objects at once. Fortunately, Access makes managing these objects pretty easy.

 

#12 MS Access Working with Tables (4min 22sec) - Tables are at the heart of any database, so it's important to understand how to use them.

 

#13 MS Access Working with Forms (4min 52sec) - While you can always enter data directly into database tables, you might find it easier to use forms. Forms ensure you're entering the right data in the right location and format. This can help keep your database accurate and consistent.

 

#14 MS Access Sorting and Filtering (4min 2sec) - Sorting and filtering are two tools that let you customize how you organize and view your data, making it more convenient to work with.

#15 MS Access Designing a Simple Query (5min 1sec) - The real power of a relational database lies in its ability to quickly retrieve and analyze your data by running a query. Queries allow you to pull information from one or more tables based on a set of search conditions you define.

 

#16 MS Access Multi-table Queries Part I (5min 24sec) - Most queries you design in Access will likely use multiple tables, allowing you to answer more complex questions. In this video, you'll learn how to design and create a multi-table query.

Print Preview shows you how your report will appear on the printed page. It also allows you to modify the way your report is displayed, print it, and even save it as a different file type.

 

#22 MS Access Using the Report Wizard (3min 24sec) - The Report Wizard is a tool that guides you through the process of creating complex reports. Once you've created a report—whether through the Report Wizard or the Report command—you can then format it to make it look exactly how you want.

 

#23 MS Access Formatting Reports (4min 21sec) - One of the strengths of reports is that you can modify their appearance to make them look how you want. You can add headers and footers, apply new colors, and even add a logo. All of these things can help you create visually appealing reports.
