I am proud of myself for getting this project done early. Especially since It looks like I will be installing a garage door on my house instead of working on school this weekend.
I was introduced to Microsoft Access in the Intro to computers class I took as a prerequisite for the Online Business Program. I learned more about what a powerful tool this could be in business, especially in the hands of a database specialist. I learned about the different delimiters and text qualifiers of text files and how to import them to Access. I had been familiar with the Query, Form and Report Wizards from the last class. During the database project I familiarized myself with manipulating these objects in Design View. I found that it was not very intuitive, but with some trial and error I improved.
As for how the database could be made more functional, Iwould use lookup fields for all of the data that has a specified number of responses. In my project I formatted the Gender and Membership types only, but the State Field could be done as well. This would enable new records to be entered with less keystrokes.
