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.
