Access Database Videos

In class on 2/9/2011 I’ll be demonstrating how to create a Microsoft Access database that meets the requirements of Assignment #2.  Last year I made videos of the process that are (mostly) appropriate this year. 

Because most of you will have Office-2010 your version of Access is newer than the one I used to make the videos.  Almost all the steps are the same, but a few of the menu items have changed slightly, and one wizard has changed as well.  Nonetheless it pretty much the same.

NOTE:  I was able to view these videos in IE, Opera and Chrome, but my copy of Firefox refused to shows them for unknown reasons.

Tables - Video 1 - 9:38

Build Relationships - Video - 2 - 5:44

  • Be sure to close tables first
  • Enforce referential integrity

Build Queries using Wizard - Video-3 - 11:01

Build Forms using Wizard - Video-4 - 11:12

  • Select Query to Start
  • Create forms
    • 2/8/2011 Note that Property Sheet doesn't automatically appear
      • Right click to select "form properties"
  • Add some data as do so
  • Note  that have ways to do pull-down list etc.

Build Report using Wizard - Video-5 - 7:48

  • 2/8/2011 Report wizard different in 2010 Access
    • No longer asked about appearance.  Must do that later
