Description: Students who have used this popular database program in a limited way, or students who participated in the Beginner’s Level class previously offered by the NNYLN, will find this Level 2 class helpful in learning to fully utilize the powerful features of Microsoft Access. Access can be much more than the basic database program, and this class can help students realize that potential.
