Appropriate for all introductory-to-intermediate level courses in Microsoft Access 2003. Designed for students at a wide variety of skill levels, Learning: Microsoft Access 2003 provides a total-immersion, hands-on tutorial that walks students step by step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke through each of Access 2003s most important features. The well-illustrated, spiral-bound manual contains easy-to-read, appealingly formatted procedural explanations, step-by-step exercises, and many screen shots- all in a carefully organized multi-part lesson format. Each lesson is comprised of several exercises built around using Access in real-life business settings. Most exercises consist of seven key elements: a brief On the Job description of how the student would use this feature in the workplace; a realistic Exercise Scenario; definitions of key Terms; concise Notes describing and outlining important concepts; hands-on mouse and keyboard procedures; step-by-step instructions for putting the skills to work; and an On Your Own critical thinking activity students can work through on their own, for reinforcement, practice, or to test skills proficiency.Each lesson ends with two additional Critical Thinking exercises that call upon students to rely on the skills theyve learned. Coverage in this edition includes: getting started with Access; working with tables and datasheets; simplifying data entry with lookups and forms; finding and displaying information; integrating Access with other programs and the Web; advanced table, form, report, and query design; automation, security, and maintenance.
