Module 3
This was a huge task for me because i have never used Access before and i do not know anything about it unlike the rest of the Microsoft office applications. I have learnt a few things over the past weeks how one can make reports easier and condense wastage of time and paper to do reports. i can imagine that this tool would be a great tool for researchers minimizing their findings and sorting out their reports. I hope to master this program more as time goes on. The formulars were the ones i had a little trouble with as I was not sure what symbols to use or not to use.

Hi Femi. Yes, Access is often the least used application for BUS103 students, but I agree with your comments on recognizing its strong potential to sort and filter data, thus making the data into valuable information.
You may find some of the office.microsoft.com free training courses (mini courses that usually take about 30 minutes to get through) on query building to be helpful. The SAM CD that accompanies your text may also be a good resource as you look to develop stronger Access skills.
I think it's important that you leave this course reflecting on which application is best for a given task. You have digested Excel for spreadsheet development, charting, and quantitative analysis and have used Access for capturing, editing, querying, and reporting data. My hope is that you can better discern the strengths and weaknesses of each application and suitably apply them for your needs.
