Introducing Other Access Objects

The table is just one type of object found in Access. You can also work with forms, queries, and reports .

A form is used to enter, edit, and view data in a table, one record at a time.
A query enables you to ask your database questions. The answer to the query can be used to manipulate data in a table, such as deleting records or viewing the data in a table that meets only certain criteria.
A report enables you to summarize database information in a format that is suitable for printing.

In essence, each of these different database objects allows you a different way of viewing and manipulating the data found in your tables. Each of these objects (including the table) should also be considered as you plan a new database. Planning a new database is discussed in Lesson 2, "Working in Access."
