I just finished a class for Access. It was terrible. All I got out of it was terminology and anxiety about having to use Access in the future. That cost me roughly $1, 500. Thank you for the free, better-than-college education!

Thank you for your compliments. We typically create tutorials for beginners and intermediate users so we do not go very in depth with our Access tutorials. I hope you are able to find helpful information elsewhere! ^Jess

That was amazing I love how simplistic you made the video. You told all the important information without any fillers. Again great job.

This is a very good start to provide a basic understanding of databases and the difference between Excel and Access. However, I think it is also worth mentioning that Access (and other database programs) are designed to allow sharing in a much more reliable way that Excel allows. If you've ever shared an Excel workbook, you can appreciate the pain involved. Sharing a data table with Access is much simpler, more transparent, and more reliable.

The language used is really easy to understand and avoid big words. It's awesome.

I want to thank your staff for not being selfish, and showing how to use programs, that benefit us in school, work, and personal life, these are things I never learned in High School, and when you are in college, you are expected to know, and thanks to your staff, I have been successful in my school work. Thank you for being who you are, and self-less, and giving us every detail so we can be successful as you all are. I am deeply grateful.

Microsoft #Access can be difficult to understand. Hopefully this introductory video on the popular 2010 version will help clear up any confusion you may have about using databases.

This is a great video that simplistically explains the purpose of Access. I plan to use it for my students...why reinvent the wheel.

This is a great tutorial to give a simple and easy explanation of databases! And a great introduction to how databases are all around us daily.

I have to watch the entire tutorial for my Theories & Apps/Digital Tech class. I'm glad the videos aren't brutally boring like some similar tutorials are.
