Gr 12 PAT and Access

For the Gr 12 PAT in 2011 learners have to collect some information via a survey. It is suggested that all survey information be designed to fit into a cell in a database. Information can easily be analysed using a database. Using a database it is very easy

• to add data
• to add valid data
• to add data which looks as required
• to extract what is needed with a query
• to do calculations with records in a report
• to make report look as we want it.

A group of teachers and I designed this PPT in 2003 and zipped to show learners how Access has features which can help with their PAT and data input, based on pages 165-169 of their textbook.
