Quick Intro to Tables, Forms, Filters, Queries, and Reports

How does a Microsoft Access database work?
Access is a database application that stores data. Each piece of data is called a record. A set of records is stored in a table. Records stored in tables are searched using filters and queries. A filter sifts through records based on the criteria you select. A query is created and ran and works like a filter, but allows you to run a more custom search of the data. The data that is presented after running a query can be formatted into a report.

The object of this blog is to provide training management databases that require little or no previous knowledge of Microsoft Access. Let's face it! Microsoft Access is not the easiest application in the Office Suite to learn. That's why the templates on this site are already set up and ready to go. Just download the template and enter your data into a ready-made form. It's that easy.

Now that you know how an Access database works, there are some other topics that may interest you and help you once you've purchased and downloaded your new training database. See "Frequently Asked Questions" for more tutorials.
