What
We Did Last Week
In Project 2, you created and ran a variety of queries. You
saw how to select fields in a query. You used text data and wildcards in
criteria. You also used comparison operators in
criteria involving numeric data. You combined criteria with both AND
and OR. You saw how to sort the results of a query, how to join
tables, and how to restrict the records in a join. You created
computed fields and calculated statistics. You learned how to use
grouping as well as how to save a query for future use.
Microsoft Office 2003 Teacher and Student version does not come with
Access. If you have Teacher and Student version and need Access, you can
pick up a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 Professional 30-day trial CD from
me. Make sure to finish all your work within 30 days before it expires.
We will continue to work on
Access 2003 this week. Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you
have any questions. You can also make an appointment to come to my
