Access 2003 (table relation)

Can you view data from different tables in one database, rather than separate tables? This may be something to do with the table relation?

In addition, what other advanced features will help in a finance department where Excel performs the primary resource to formulate information? Are these taught in the Intermediate or Advances phase? How will using these in Access benefit against Excel?

RE: Access 2003 (table relation)

Dear Anita

Thank you for attending Access Introduction course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

You are right. This is something to do with Relationships between tables. We cover this in detail in Intermediate level.

If you know how the relationship work in Access you can very easily insert something known as Subdatasheets. If you are not familiar with relationships between the tables then I recommend that you enrol in one of our Intermediate courses.

Please find the below link to see the schedule of the intermediate course:

It is important to understand that Access is not there for lots of calculations and functions!! If you feel that you need to do lots of calculations then my recommendation will be to use Excel. If you have got most of teh data in Access and you wish to transfer it in Excel so that you can perform the financial functions then please follow these steps:

1. Open the Table or Query in Datasheet view
2. Choose Tools > Office Links > MS Excel

This will extract your table into Excel and you can perform all your excel functions.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
