Ok so my school dropped the ball and told me I need one more class to graduate, and I really dont wanna go back for another semester. So i have two choices, take the class or take a test to get out of it.

The class is about Microsoft access and database.


Can anyone give me the important points of access.

Also what is life cycle?

Thanks in advance for any help

Dude, if you know nothing about Access, you really only have one option. Find a seat and sit in class.

this should help

"good morning class, we have a new student, everyone say hello to Crimson92"

Ok, enough fun, I think you should take the class as there is a higher chance you might not pass the test if you don't know what life cycle is, it is the model of software development.

Ok, so I forgot all about the detail of it. But back in the early 80's, I know it as analysis, design, develpment, implementation, and maintenance.

That is not going to be enough for you to pass the test.

So, any luck with the last 2, they are related to datawarehouse which is beyond the scope of access. I guess I got carry away.

seems like some good link for access starter. I don't use access btw.
