Save time and money otherwise spent on third-party software. Microsoft Office Access template (MSODB) manages records too complex for Excel to keep track of - interrelated portfolio items, local files, and lengthy text articles or notes.
Find records without using Access' query design grid, by (multiple) criteria.
Merge current record to ClipBoard, Excel, or Word (template included).
Link records to, and index content of, files.
Built-in reminder and custom help (for subtle features like customizable fields).
An Access table in Datasheet View equates to an Excel worksheet list. A
record (row) stores 1 item's complete information. A field (column)
stores 1 piece of an item's record. The top row is field labels. Can
rearrange field order without affecting actual data when import from,
export or link to data formats.
Subtopics inherently and mutually correlate to a main topic or subject.
Related data is stored in separate tables instead of a single list
containing redundant/ duplicate data. Matching unique key fields define
relationships between tables. These relationships reflect record changes
between tables and enable queries to retrieve multiple table data meeting specified criteria. Network goodwill of keeping others' interests in mind can reciprocate help.
