About this title

From the Author

This book is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to use Access 2002. It begins in an introductory way, leading into exercises that cover many of Access’ database management features. Although primarily aimed at students in further and higher education, it is also excellent for anyone who wishes to teach themselves access, either for work or personal interest.

The unique and popular feature of the book is the focus on tasks and activities. Each topic gives you a number of exercises to complete. In each topic, the relevance and function of the new concepts are explained, and detailed instructions are given on how to carry out the exercises. As you work through the book you will gradually build up a database application for Total Health and Fitness, a fictitious sports and fitness activities facility. Later exercises use tables, forms, queries and reports that you have created earlier in the book, so that instead of re-working basic operations you are continually refining your application.
