Access Summary

If you need a convenient way to record and use information, then Microsoft Access is probably for you. It is easy to create an Access database that will keep your data organised and secure, and allow you to easy create and run reports to extract that information. Access is especially useful since it can be used by multiple people at the same time.

Dave Jones, REF Operations Manager, has created and managed many Access databases. He will explain how databases work; how to build a basic database in Access; create a user-friendly data entry screen; and how to create professional looking reports – and all in an hour!
