Access Help Feature

Since I use "help" often in Microsoft Office, the help feature was pretty self explanitory and not impressive. I find Office 2007 much nicer and well organized than 2003, and prefer the new Access. One cool thing was the templates on the Office website, which would be helpful for someone who is just learning one to one or one to many relationships. There was not a bunch of new information I found in the help function, but it is reassuring to know that if I don't know how to do something, I have help just a click away:)

I am taking this course as part of my minor requirement and also for the general knowledge of using Access. I hope to be able to functionally use Access when finished with this course. This spring I was enrolled in AIS 310, in which the class worked on a Access project. I was part of the customer service group so my responsiblities were data entry and contacting the non profit the database was being done for. I would have like to have more hands on experience other than just data entry, and be able to see a finished and useable database.
For my internship this summer, I am responsible for scrubbing a few thousand scholarship files. The information I get from the files, such as award amounts and years, will be put into a database and the database used to get reports for sponsors, donors, and supporters of the charitable organization. I believe knowing how to use Access will help me in this capacity, but also help in the long run, as a skill and useful tool in the business world.
