Microsoft Office Access is a database management program which allows users to import and export their data, as well as work with XML data files. The Access 2007 version also adds new functionality and tools which improve upon previous versions: tracking applications which can be customized from templates, easy database conversion, and enhanced information sharing with Windows SharePoint. This e-book reference manual was designed for Access 2007 users who have experience using the software, but need additional support when completing day-to-day database management tasks. It is available for free download here.
Although Microsoft Access 2007 is a complex program, it is designed for ease-of-use even for users who do not have advanced database knowledge. The second in a series of three e-book user guides, Access 2007: Part 2 provides detailed explanations of useful topics and tools including: saving data in Access, working with records, customizing tables, data entry, field properties, table relationships, sorting and filtering data, creating basic queries, and filtering queries. All explanations are accompanied by screenshots and full-color diagrams.
