Assignment - Database project

Although I have used a Access based program that was created for my other company, this was the first time that I have used it from beginning to end for my own use. Everything we did was new to me. We had to create a table, import data, run queries and reports. In the system that we used all I ever had to do was to input information and run reports.
I can see the usefulness of Access over Excel. Due to prior experience I know that Access allows multiple users which for many companies is great. Access also allows for a larger data storage.
I found this project much harder than excel.

Week 11 - Clear

This week the concept was clear to me. As our notes state database is an organized collection of related information. The way information is organized is something that I enjoyed. I am all about organization and making my life easier. My previous workplace actually used an Access based program to maintain all information on loans and properties. As the company grew and they bought into more commercial mortgage backed securities the need for this program became greater. It permitted all departments to see the same information on a loan or a deal. It also allowed for information to be uploaded and all departments would have access instantly. Right now I say I am clear but as I work on the project I am sure that things are going to get muddy!
