4. Identify Good Database Design
A database is an organized collection of data—facts about people, events, things, or ideas—related to a specific topic or purpose.
Information is data that is organized in a useful manner.

5. Identify Good Database Design
Use good design techniques when creating a new database.
Determine the information you want to keep track of to create a new database.
Ask yourself, “What questions should this database be able to answer for me?”
The purpose of a database is to store data in a manner that makes it easy for you to get the information you need.

21. Create and Use a Query, Form, and Report
A query is a database object that retrieves specific data from one or more database objects—either tables of other queries.
A form is an Access object with which you can enter data, edit data, or display data from a table or a query.
<#>

22. Create and Use a Query, Form, and Report
Figure 1.31
<#>

23. Create and Use a Query, Form, and Report
Figure 1.35
<#>

24. Create and Use a Query, Form, and Report
A report is a database object that displays the fields and records from a table or a query in an easy-to-read format suitable for printing.
<#>

25. Create and Use a Query, Form, and Report
Figure 1.36

26. Save and Close a Database
When you close an Access table, any changes made to the records are saved automatically.
You will be prompted to save changes to the design of the table or the layout of Datasheet view.

27. Save and Close a Database
Figure 1.39
<#>

28. Create a Database Using a Template
A database template contains pre- built tables, queries, forms, and reports to perform a specific task.
You do not have to create the objects.
All you need to do is enter your data and modify the pre-built objects to suit your needs.
