Grades in MS Access: Data Entry & Crosstab View

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to properly store student grades using relational tables and create a spreadsheet-like view with a cross-tab query. We'll cover creating data entry forms for efficient input and display, mimicking the Excel setup you are familiar with.

Candace from Beaverton, Oregon (a Platinum Member) asks: I am a teacher and have been using Excel for many years to manage my students' test, quiz, and assignment grades. Recently, I've decided to move everything over to Access, which I know is a much better long-term solution. How can I display my students and their grades in a spreadsheet-like format similar to Excel?
