queries are more powerful than simple searches or
lters used to
nd data in a table. When you build a MS access query in an
access database, it means you are de ning speci c search
conditions to
nd exactly the data you need.
In an instance where you want to search for example in the ‘customers’ table to nd the
name of one of your recent customer’s in your business or a lter on the ‘orders’ table to
view orders placed within the past few months, it would be nearly impossible to view both
customers and order tables at once, instead you could easily run a query to search the
name and phone number of every customer who made a purchase in the past few months.
Knowing fully well that a well-designed query will give information you might not be able
to nd out just by examining the data direct within the table. Note also that when you run a
Microsoft access query, the results are shown to you in a table view, but when you design
one you use a different view called query design view, this lets you see how your query is
being put together.
How to create MS access query
Before creating a MS access query you have to navigate to the query tab in your access
database. Then select Queries from object wizard, this method will be helpful for beginners, so that they don’t get confused when they need to do something via the wizard tool, restricting them to the basic operations.
Double click on “create query in design tab”
Then add table or tables
Your query window should have a table you just added to it
This are just the basic setup process for making a query, you have to rst choose which
table you want to select data from every time you try to create MS access query.
