I have no idea if they are any good, or if they are suitable for you as I don't know what your IT knowledge is. You should also get your boss to buy you a book on how to use Access.

Access 2003 is pretty simple depending on what you want to do. If you have ever used any database before then it should be easy.


If you have never used a database before it might be difficult to learn. If you have any questions you can feel free to ask me and I will do what I can to help. :)

Thanks expert John! Do you think it’s possible if I transfer an existing simple spreadsheet (excel form) into Access. If so, is there any shortcut?


I don’t think I used data base before. Mostly, I use Word, Excel and CAD. None of these is close to Access or data base. So I need your expertise.

Hi Luqi,


It is quite possible to transfer an existing Excel spreadsheet into Access, but there doesn't seem much point in doing so.


You really need to find out more about what a database is and why you would use one before you start using Access. This isn't something that someone can easily explain to you via an advice forum. If you and your boss are serious about you using Access, you either need to do some training or start reading "Access for Dummies" (or whatever introductory book you can get).

I believe the "Dummies" guides are marketed as "Experts" guides in China. But the same black and yellow cover.

Why not use the filter function in excel if that's all he wants from Access
