The Coffee Roasting Company Project assumes you are familiar with the Microsoft Windows environment. Other versions of these packages have similar, but not entirely identical, functions. Microsoft Access is a popular relational data base management system using object-oriented methodology. Therefore, the items you create in Access are called objects. The most basic object, a Table, is used to store all the relevant information about an item of interest.
Queries retrieve data from the database by establishing relationships among the tables.
Forms are created to enter data into the tables, and Reports are created to present information from the tables. Access allows you to customize these objects by using its design features. This Coffee Roasting Company project teaches you when and how to create each of these objects and customize them so look good and work well.
