Microsoft Access 201
Intermediate Access 1

Creating relational databases, relating customer and contacts table, relational combo boxes, much more. 68 Minutes.
 

AC201 Major Topics

  • Relational Database Concepts
  • Queries with Multiple Tables
  • Customer Combo Box
  • Global Relationships

This is the first of the Intermediate series of Access courses. We will begin by learning about relational database concepts - and why relational databases are more powerful than traditional "flat file" databases.

 

Next, we'll revisit the contacts table we constructed in the last class - this time, we'll build it properly and make it relational.

 

We'll then construct a query to relate the two tables together (customers and contacts).

 

We'll update our contact report to deal with the new changes in our database.

 

Next we'll build a contact form to display and edit this data. On this contact form, we'll create a combo box to allow us to select the customer from our list of customers. This way we don't have to know the customer's ID - we just pick them from the list.

 

We'll add the button for the new contact form onto our Main Menu.

 

Next, we'll take a look at Global Relationships between tables, why they're important, and why we're not going to use them... yet.

 

This is the big one! Don't miss this course. We cover a lot of very key concepts in this course - especially our discussion on relational database concepts, and learning how to create a combo box to look up a value from a different table. These are very important concepts, and we will build in them on most of our future Access courses.
