In this practice session, you'll enter data in two separate forms, and then you'll enter data in a main form and an embedded subform. The experience will show you the advantages of subforms.

About the practice session

When you click Practice in Access, you may see a security warning. When you click Open in the Security Warning dialog box, a practice database will download to your computer and open in Access, and a separate window with practice instructions will appear alongside (see picture).

Note     You need to have Access 2003 installed on your computer.

Tips

  • If the practice instructions aren't visible, or if they disappear when you click in Access, click the Access Help taskbar button and then click the Auto Tile button in the upper-left corner of the instructions.
  • If the practice instructions cover up Access, click the Auto Tile button in the upper-left corner of the instructions.
