Access 2010 - Database III

Access 2010 Objects

Queries

Using a Query in Access 2010 allows you to extract database information from Records that meet a certain criteria. Let’s say your database is concerned with holidays in European resorts and the customers who booked them. A query can be asked to filter customers of a given age group, those choosing a particular destination or any combination of factors. Most Reports and Forms are based on the results of Queries.

In Access 2010 Queries can be found on the Create Tab under the Group Other:

Query Design

New Object Query

The Show Table dialogue box is displayed, from which you can choose tables or Queries to add to the Query design.

Reports & Labels

A Report in Access 2010 is a way of exporting, sharing and printing data, it can be all the data or that part which meets the conditions set by a Query. The names and addresses of customers that meet a certain criteria (or several) can be extracted in Report form. Financial Reports based on sales is another example.
