Microsoft Access™ 2.0 is a database management system that runs under the Microsoft® Windows™ operating environment.
A database management system allows information to be collected, organized and manipulated using a computer.
This document is intended to be a brief introduction to Microsoft Access 2.0. By creating a small example application using the most important Access objects, this booklet aims to introduce the basic features of Access. The example application will use tables, forms, reports, and queries.
Some familiarity with Windows is assumed. If necessary, please refer to the Computing Services document Windows: an Introduction, WIN-IN-1.
