This weeks technology topic was Microsoft office. However, there was no project to go with this weeks lessons. Hence, the part one and shorter blog entry. I have played around with Access before on a project for work. I ended up borrowing a book from our IT dept. and teaching myself. I was putting together a database for recording and storing data for students 12 years and older on vocational activities. Furthermore, the project was to include ways to print individual reports for each student. Unfortunately, the project did not get finished, but I was able to teach myself a great deal of how to use Access and get to see some of the advantages firsthand. I loved spending time designing databases and using Access. That is one thing I have noticed using Access that could be noted as a disadvantage, it takes time and planning in order to make a good database. I am actually looking forward to finding out what next week's project is.
Until next week :)
Your previous experience with Access is interesting. All great things take work, and I'm sure it would have been worth it. I'm glad you learned a lot and I am also looking forward to this upcoming project!
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting and impressive that you taught yourself this program. I really hope the project is easy and simple for you to complete! Good Luck!
