Microsoft Office Access 2003 Step By Step

Microsoft Office Access 2003 is part of The Microsoft Office System, so the basic interface objects—menus, toolbars, dialog boxes—will be familiar if you have used other Office products or other Microsoft Windows applications. However, Access has more dimensions than most of those programs, so it might seem more complex until you become familiar with it.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 develop database programs for use by one person or by many.

This chapter introduces you to the concept of a database, explains a little about Access, and takes you on a tour of the program. The database you will use for the tour belongs to The Garden Company, a fictional garden supply and plant store. (You will be working with this database throughout this book.)

This tour will give you a firm foundation from which to begin working with Access to create your own databases. After exploring the structure of the GardenCo database, you will look at some of the objects used to store and manipulate the data it contains. Finally, you will preview and print the various Access objects.
