The database is a vessel that holds multiple, related objects
To become familiar with Access, start by creating a new blank database to use as the basis for Task 05
- save it to your working folder
- you don't have to build the structure just yet, but have it ready for use
[top]
Create a second new blank database to use for practice
- save it to your working folder under a descriptive filename
-
if you wish, you may
download a sample database
and look it over to familiarize yourself with
some of the Access tools or you may look at the
Northwind database
- this database is far more complex than anything you will be doing, but the relationships between tables in Northwind are examples of how you need to tie your tables together to make them work in a relational manner
Create an empty database, which you will later populate with imported and created data.
