Microsoft Office ACCESS**
Microsoft Access is a database tool for gathering and understanding all your information—your phone numbers, inventory, guest lists, whatever you’re tracking—and providing a convenient way to enter, navigate, and report out your data. Access can be used for personal information management (PIM), in a small business to organize and manage data, or in an enterprise to communicate with servers.

**For Access 2003 users, while we do use the 2010 environment, the instructor will refer to all versions of Access and highlight the minor differences. Handouts include references to all versions of Access.
