As students advance in the course, they will work with tables and data, HTML and hyperlinks, use the Query Wizard, and customize reports. They will also learn how to maintain databases as backups, as well as compacting and repairing them. Students will also use Access as a development tool in the most advanced sections of the course. This course teaches strategies for protecting data by enacting various security measures and by controlling how data is entered into a database. Finally, various maintenance features are covered, teaching students to better manage their multi-user databases. The material is presented through explanatory text, real-world scenarios, interactive steps, and questions to test and reinforce the material covered.
