Using MS Access

Using Microsoft Access was easy as i have used it all my life in school and college to implement systems and create interfaces with running forms, so therefore i found using this software the easiest. Although i had to figure out what the differences were between Access 2005 and Access 2007, after that i could create forms and queries etc. There were a lot of guides for help using Microsoft Access provided by lecturers so therefore if i struggled at all with Access i could refer to these guides. The interent also included a variety of different helps to help with code errors or errors with relationships which i had at first. This was because i had a many to many relationship and this was not possible; so i had to find help on the interent to solve the problem. The interent did solve the problem.

Creating an interface was simple as everything is set out with great ease. I already knew where all of the buttons, text, formats were as i have used the software before, so i quickly created an interface for some data i had implemented. Complex code is difficult to generate as you need to use macros or write out the html for them, but if its a simple bit of code for an interface, then macros are really easy to use and are effective.

Overall i think this product is easy to use. I found Zoho Creator easy to use also, so when i implement my system for ClothKids Clothing Company, i will have to bare in mind these two applications. I will not, however, be using DabbleDb as i would not be able to implement a system with ease unlike the other two applications.
