Information Proposal
Microsoft Access is a system that allows users to manipulate large amounts of data. The different areas and features of Microsoft provide quick learning and easy to use software which can benefit both small and large business environments. The different parts that make up Access are queries, reports, tables, modules and macros. Queries allow the user to pull information from the given tables and calculate using the information filled into the table. Tables associated with Access are used to store data. Information on the tables can be entered on the forms and printer-ready information is displayed on the report portion of Access, These reports can also be exported to Microsoft Excel or Word. The automation of database tasks are done using macros. Modules are used for advanced programming within the database. Microsoft Access is beneficial in the work environment because it incorporates features that are also found in other Microsoft Office applications, the learning curve with Access is not steep at all it is a very easy system to operate. Because of wizards, it is easier to create a database in less than an hour. Another benefit of Access is that it allows the user to integrate large amounts of data not having to sacrifice performance of the system. Information that has already been made available can be transferred over to the Access program. Microsoft Access can e used for both small and large business environments. However, a large office environment allows access to be programmed from the enterprise resource software.
