Microsoft Access Project

Before doing this project I was very intimated of database programs. However, after tackling and fighting and overcoming much frustration, I started to understand some of the concepts and features that Microsoft Access had to offer. I think what I learned from using Access is how to successfully make a form. Microsoft Access forms provide a quick and easy way to modify and insert records into your databases.

I think the one thing that this database should do to increase its functionality is to provide some sort of help box for users. There were several times when I had a question and I had to turn to Google for help in finding the answer. I don't think that Access is overly user friendly. When it comes to databases if you don't have some type of computer science capacity then these programs can prove to be somewhat challenging. If Microsoft were to implement a user friendly interface with a help box then things would become a lot easier for users.
