Prerequisites

This course is intended for those already using Microsoft Access 2016 who wish to explore more advanced queries and forms. Those who have attended the Access 2016: Creating a Simple Database course will find this follows on seamlessly from where that course left off - but be prepared for a harder challenge.

The second session is optional for you to either work through and consolidate the course material, or to receive support on your own project.
