Microsoft Access 2010 - Sharing Data Across Applications

You may not know this upon first using Microsoft Access, but it can actually share data across applications. The ability to share can come in a number of formats, including importing and exporting data to and from a text file or another Access database. Why would you want to do this? While Access is a great place for storing data, you may not be able to manipulate your data in all the ways you need. Therefore, you need to send your data to a place (or from a place if you just want to store it) where you can manipulate it in the manner you desire. You will be given the tools to do so via this online training video.

Microsoft Access can also send your data and turn it into a Microsoft Word mail merge document, which allows you to have the data you would need in a report coupled with a good presentation. This pairing is the best of both worlds. Learn how to perform this task, as well as how to export your Access data to Microsoft Excel. Utilize the information presented in this training lesson and share your data across applications, thus making your experience with Microsoft Access easier and more enjoyable.
