Update of Microsoft Access 2016
Microsoft
Access is a computer application used to create and manage computer- based databases on desktop computers and / or on connected
computers (a network). Microsoft
Access can be used for personal information management (PIM) in a small business to organise and manage data, or in a
enterprise to communicate with severs.
Let us
get familiar with the MS Access 2016 in this class:
The Ribbon
MS Access 2016 uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of
commands. For example, the Clipboard
group on the Home tab contains commands such as Cut, Copy and Paste.
Some groups
also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that we can click for
even more options.
Using the Tell me Feature
If we are having trouble finding command we want, the Tell me feature can help. It works just like a regular search bar. Type what we are looking for, and a list of
options will appear. We can then use the command directly from the menu without having to find it on the Ribbon.
The Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar, located above the Ribbon,
lets us access common commands no matter
which tab we are on. By default, it shows the Save, Undo, and Redo commands. If we like, we
can customize
it by adding additional commands.
Backstage View
Backstage view gives us various options for saving, open
Just click on
the File tab on the
Ribbon to access the
Backstage View.
Backstage view
will appear.
The Navigation Pane
The Navigation Pane is the central point of a database. It allows you to review the objects that are part of a database. You also use it to change the way of objects, whether the objects should appear in categories, and what categories.
