Access Introduction course

Access intermediate

I have just completed my access basic course and would like to progress to intermediate level. Given that people all have different learning abilities, from your returning candidates, what is the average period of time before, candidates have returned to progress to the next level. The reason I asked is I would like to set myself a target date.

Regards

RE: Access intermediate

Hi Dave

There is no useful average time period. We have have had candidates that were under time constraints and did all the courses (Intro to VBA) in 1 week and others took over 6 months before coming on the next course.

My suggestion is to take a couple of weeks to consolidate your knowlwdge (ie Create a new database and practice the skills you learnt) before coming on the intermediate course.

Regards

Carlos

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
