PLEASE NOTE: This video says "Access 2010" but it's perfectly valid for every version of Access after 2007. Microsoft Access hasn't changed that much, even up to 2019. So please enjoy!

This is the introduction video only. The full course is 1 hour and 18 minutes long and can be found on my web site at http://599CD.com/XKH1ZZ

This Microsoft Access video tutorial picks up where Beginner Level 9 left off. This class covers fixing the contact history table that we started in the last class. I intentionally showed you the wrong way to build it last time. Now we'll build it correctly. You will learn:

Relational Database Concepts
Primary & Foreign Key Fields
Types of Relationships
Focus on One-to-Many Relationships
Ad Hoc Query Joins
Left Joins to Show All Records
Relational Combo Boxes
Fixing Lead Source & Shipping Combos
Select a Customer on the Contact Form

This class picks up where Beginner Level 9 left off. In B9 I intentionally showed you the wrong way to build the contact table using a flat file database system, where all of the customer and contact information was stored in one table. In this class, we'll fix that problem by building a properly relational set of tables. We'll begin by learning about relational databases, what they are, and why they're important. We'll learn about primary and foreign key fields. We'll learn about the different types of database relationships: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many.

Next we'll set up our tables with the right relational fields. We'll add a CustomerID to our contact table, learn more about Foreign Keys, and fix the Lead Sources and Shipping Method tables.

Next we'll learn how to join tables together using Ad Hoc Query Relationships on the fly. We'll see how Access creates automatic join lines, how to delete a relationship, and how to create one manually if Access doesn't do it for us. We'll learn about different join types, including a LEFT JOIN which is handy to show all of the records from one of the related tables even if matching records don't exist in the other tables.

Finally we'll create relational combo boxes. This will allow us to pick a value from one table and store it in another. For example, we can pick a customer from our customer table and store that ID in our contact table - to set which customer the contact belongs to. We'll do something similar with our Lead Source and Shipping Method tables. You'll see how the combo box wizard behaves slightly different if you're using a query vs. a table.

This is the first class in the Access Expert series. If you want to take your database skills to the next level, this is the class for you. Understanding proper relational database construction is absolutely vital to the success of your projects. Of course, if you have any questions about whether or not this class is for you, please contact me.
