Hello again and welcome back to our course on Access 2016. It’s time now to start Access and to start using it.
So on Windows 10 what I’m going to do is to type in the Search box down here or start typing Access. Straightaway I see Access 2016 appear, click and that starts up Access. If you’re using Windows 7 then depending on how you’ve installed it you may already have a shortcut on the desktop. You may get it from the Start menu. If you’re using Windows 8 then you’ll be using the Windows Start screen. You can start typing Access 2016, the name will appear, click, and when it starts up it’ll look something like this. In fact whichever version of Windows you’re using the start screen should look like this, subject of course to what I said earlier about the size, shape and resolution of your screen.
Now I suggest that if you don’t already have a shortcut on your desktop for Access or you haven’t already put a shortcut on your taskbar you straightaway now pin this to the taskbar or put a shortcut on the desktop because you’re going to be starting and stopping Access quite a bit from now on.
So in Windows 10 I’m going to go down here to the Access icon on the taskbar, right click and I’m going to say Pin to Taskbar and it’s there now for me to use from now on.
Over the next two or three sections we’re going to be delving into the Access workspace. And in order to cover the many things that I need to explain I’m going to sort of spread them out over two or three sections and in the process we’re going to create a couple of databases.
Now on the start screen if you go up to the top right hand corner you have conventional Windows buttons, Close, Maximize, Minimize. And then on the left you have a question mark and the question mark is the button that gives you access to Access Help. I’m going to be talking about Access Help in a few sections from now so I’m going to otherwise ignore it for the moment.
Underneath those buttons you have the Account Details.
This is the account that’s currently responsible for this copy of Access. Now of course your account name will be different from mine and whether you’re using Access 2016 from an Office 365 subscription or a purchased copy of Access 2016 you will be running under a Microsoft account. And in various ways that account is important in various contexts, as we’ll see later on. But for the moment as long as you’ve got an account there and it’s right it’s not of importance in the short term to us which account it is.
Now over on the left we have a panel which will normally show the recently opened databases. And this gives us access to work that we’ve been doing recently. So at any one time I may have three or four databases that I’m working on. And if I need to do work on one of those I just click on whichever one it is in that list and it will open up for me. Now this is a brand new installation of Access 2016 so there are no recent databases but there soon will be.
If I want to work on a database that isn’t in my recent list, so maybe it’s one I haven’t worked on in this installation, maybe it’s one I’ve got from somebody else. Then the Open Other Files option here gives me access to a standard Windows browser and I can open whatever I need to open to work on the relevant database.
Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
