The Access workbook
The core concepts of database design and construction are an order of magnitude more difficult to grasp than those of word processing or spreadsheet applications. The WARP! Computer Training MS-Access workbook provides a practical grounding in the fundamentals of relational database design and management. To help students along what can be a relatively steep learning curve, the course focuses on the hands-on creation of a small relational database via logical step-by-step exercises. Comprehension of the courseware is enhanced via screen shots of the database components being constructed and assembled. Courseware for Access 2007, Access 2003, Access XP 2002, Access 2000 and Access 97.
