I wish I was as familiar with Access as I am with Excel. After this weeks lectures I will be a little more knowledgable on the program. It appears that Access can be very useful for business applications. If you go to Microsofts website, this one shows the Access templates, you can browse all the templates that have been submitted to see what you can use them for. After just about completing the project, I think I will try and use Access more often in my business. We just recently made a list for mailings, I think I will import it into Access to make a database of potential customers. We just recieved our first phone call from the mailings, and using Access I can use the form to put in all the homeowners information in.
Again, I wish we would spend more time in the class on these kinds of programs than on networks. I can see the importance of understanding networks, but not a whole weeks of lectures on them. The business student will spend more time on running Excel spreadsheets and Access databases than they will trying to repair a network. I think we need to know enough, so we are not dangerous in the IT realm.
