Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access
In the past, I used it to create databases to track expense reports, later I used it to track charity donations made within the company I worked for. I would create the database from scratch and set it up so that it was user friendly for those who had no prior use with access. The great thing about the program is that you can customize it. Sometimes I'd have pop up screens or instructions baked right into the viewing screen that the end users could easily follow. I also sometimes use access to scrub and organize info that may have similar components of info but they may have been altered over time. I can refrain from having to re-invent everything and just upload using a special query or whatever and still house all my info together. Access is great and is highly adaptable for my needs. I've been able to use it everywhere I go.
- Organizing information that is similar in nature but may include different parameters
- Adapting to things that are born in an Excel format.
- Merging information that may need to be tacked on at the last minute
- Not really sure, I pretty much like the program as it is. As I stated it is highly adaptable and I'm usually able to figure out ways to bend it to my needs. No issues here.
- I wish there were some SQL layouts baked in that showed some examples. But that just might mean more classes or something.
- It has increased employee efficiency
- Allowed for better tracking of information from start to finish
- Ease of consolidation of ad hoc information.
