Introduction to MS Access 2016 v3.1

This compendium contains an introduction to the most commonly used functionalities found in Microsoft Access 2016 (which is almost identical to Access 2013), from how to create a database and define referential integrity to how to create forms and reports. As an added bonus, most of the information in this compendium also applies to earlier versions of Microsoft Access. It is strongly recommended that you read through (or at least look through) the entire compendium before you start working with it in front of a computer. There are many references back and forth in this compendium, and therefore you should find it quite helpful to have acquired an idea beforehand of what is coming in later chapters. Any comments or feedback that you may have about this compendium are greatly appreciated. Send any such comments or feedback to the author at nikos@dsv.su.se. The latest version of this compendium, all the files needed to complete the tutorial, relevant links and other information are available at http://coursematerial.nikosdimitrakas.com/access/.
