Microsoft Access

To be honest, I've never used Microsoft Access before. All I knew about it was that it was like Excel. After exploring it a little and going through the tutorials, I realized what an asset it would be in the classroom. Microsoft Access would be great to use for grades and for keeping parents' phone numbers and emails. However, it's kind of intimidating. I searched a bunch of reviews online for Microsoft Access just to see what other people were using it for. One man, Dan, said, I'm well versed in all aspects of Access including SQL, VBA, and building through the interface." My thoughts: "What in the world did he just say?!" Looks like I will have to get a little more acquainted with it before actually using it!
