Microsoft Access is the perfect tool for when you need to combine different sets of information and generate summary reports from that information. It can also be an excellent choice for when you need to deal with large text entries that don't display well in Microsoft Excel. This book is written for those who are used to using Microsoft Excel but need that little bit more that Excel can't offer. It will walk you through the basics of working in Microsoft Access with a focus on creating data tables and basic queries. If you've always wanted to learn Access and weren't quite sure how to get started, this is the book for you. This book was written using Access 2013, but should work for Access 2007 onward.
