Database Project: Microsoft Access

Before this project, I had never known how to make a database and now I've made one. I really enjoyed learning about the different steps and the products to use, I always compiled things in Microsoft Excel and calculated what I wanted to know on my own. Now, I know the difference between making a table, query, form and report, which is very exciting. A table gives the basic data, query answers questions about your data, form is to make the data entering process less time-consuming and repetitive and reports give the information from the table and query in an attractive manner.

One way I can enhance the functionality of the database is by adding text labels to the forms to indicate what is going on. This will provide clarity. Another way is by adding a validation rule to make sure the proper amounts are used, such as the zip code range to be more specific to certain areas of Gainesville.
