Introduction
Microsoft Access 2010 is a powerful relational database program that includes
hundreds of tools you can use to quickly start tracking, sharing, and reporting
information, even if you are new to database development. Users have access to a large
library of professionally designed templates; wizards that automatically create tables,
forms, queries, and reports; and extensive local and online help resources.
Access supports sharing data with other sources, including other Microsoft Office 2010
programs, Microsoft SQL Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and documents in XML,
HTML, XPS, and PDF formats. Advanced features allow you to create sophisticated executable
database applications that your employees and customers can use to gather and view
data without needing to know anything at all about database design or development.
This book gives you straightforward instructions for using Access to create databases.
It takes you from knowing little or nothing about Access—or, for that matter, about
databases—to a level of expertise that will enable you to create complex databases for
use by one person or by many people.
