Tips For An Access Adventure

By Jason Larrsohn


Comparing Excel and Access is like comparing Batman and Superman. Each has their die-hard fans and each can accomplish much of the same but in slightly different ways. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. Most likely, you can get by with one or the other without running into too many issues. But, for the sake of exploration, let's see how the two compare.

Before you rush off the plane and begin running around a foreign city, there are a few things you should work out. Touring a city like Berlin can be either very exciting and rewarding, or very difficult and frustrating. Berlin is a huge city, with an eclectic array of districts. If some spontaneous tourist simply hops in a cab and says, "Let's head east!" that trip could end up being very disappointing. No offense to East Berlin, but most of it just cannot compare to the west.

The East is much more difficult to navigate and you could end up feeling more discouraged than delighted. After all, areas of East Berlin can be a little sketchy, under-developed, and boring to the eyes of a tourist. However, the farther west you go, the sights and quality of life increase. The center (which does include a respectable chunk of East Berlin) is a thriving hub of excitement. The west is beautiful and full of interesting, historic, and impressive sights.

So, before you allow your spontaneity to take control of your touring adventure, check out a few "Touring Berlin" tips. For example, stick mostly to the center and the west. Have a general idea of where things are that you might like to see.

However, if you work with data that changes frequently or if you need that information to be easily linked or associated with other information, access might be the best option for you. Especially if many people contribute data to the same worksheet, Access is ideal. It's got more "outside" connections, if you will.

Either way it's a good idea to know what this feature has to offer. There are so many types of graphs that you can create within Microsoft Excel. It's your job to sort through all these options and figure out the ones that are most practical for the purpose you need to have them serve. In some instances, you could very well get away with having no graph at all. It all depends on the demands of the project you have before you.

So when you are trying to decide which program you want to use think, who would I call upon to save me from this statistical mess? Batman? Or Superman? Also consider which program you or your co-workers are more comfortable with. If you know Excel like the back of your hand and know that it can get the job done, go for it.

Just like these tips, there are many for Microsoft Access. By receiving Microsoft training Kuwait, you can learn easy, but valuable tips like shortcuts, customizing access, formatting, and other useful tricks. So take Microsoft courses Kuwait and make the best out of your Access adventure!
