how do you know when you should use a query, form, report or table?

Hi Maria

Each item has a different purpose. A table is the underlying storage table and is essential. A query is used to extract data from one or many tables, this data can then be viewed in much nicer layout using a report. Forms are mostly used for data entry, much easier than entering data into a table especially when multiple linked tables are involved.

Hope this helps
David

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
