Access - Lesson 3 Key Terms

  1. Ascending Sort- A sort of order that sorts text values from A to Zand number values from 1 to 10.
  2. Calculated field- A field in an Access query, form,or report in which the displayed values are the result of calculations performed on other fields.
  3. Concatenation- In Access, joining two values to display them as a single value.
  4. Criteria- A limiting condition, such as "Arizona" or ">100" used in Access queries and filters to show a limited set of records.
  5. Descendig sort- A sort order that sorts text values from Z to A and number values from 10 to 1.
  6. Expression- A formula that calculates a value or defines criteria.
  7. Filter- In Access, one or more criterion that you can apply to a datasheet to display a subset of records. Those records that do not meet the criterion are "filtered out" and are not displayedin the subset of records.
  8. Filter by form- In Access, a filtering technique in which you can type the values for which you want to filterusing a form that contains all the fields in the datasheet.
  9. Filter by Selecction- In Access, a filtering technique in which you select a value or partial value for which you want to filter using the Filter By Selection button.
  10. Select Query- The most common type of queryin Access, the selected query retrieves specific data from one or more tables and displays the results in a datasheet.

Access-Lesson 2 Key Terms!!!

Data type- In Access, a field property that determines what type of data the field can contain.
Export- The process of copying data from an Access table or query to another database or to another type of file, such as Exel worksheet.
Field Name- The name by which Access recognizes a data field.
Field Property- A specific attribute of an Access data field, such as name, caption, field size, or input mask.
Import- The process of copying data from another source, such as a database or spreadsheet, into an open Access database.
Input Mask- In Access, a field property that determines display format and limits the type of data that can be entered.
Junction Table- In Access, a table that provides a link between two tables that have a many-to-many relationship.
Link- The connection between a source file and a destination file, or between two tables.
Lookup Field- In Access, a field that looks up a list of values in another table or in a static list, and presents the list of values for data entry selection.
Many-to-many Relationship- In Access, a relationship between two tablesin which each table can have many related records in the other table.
One-to-many Relationship- In Access, a relationship between two tables in which one table (the primary table) can have many related records in the other table (the related table).
One-to-one Relationship- In Access, a relationship between two tables in which each table has only one related record in the other table.
Orphan- In Access, records in the related table (on the "many" side of a relationship)that are left unrelated if their related record in the primary table (on the "one" side of the relationshiop)is deleted or charged so that the relationship its broken.
Primary Key- In Access, one or more fields in a tablewhose values uniquely identify each record.
Primary Table- In Access, the table on the "one" side of a one-to-manyrelationship.
Referential Integrity- A system of rules that Access uses to ensure that relationships between records in related tables are valid, and that you dont accidentally delete or change related data.
Related Table- In Access, the table on the "many"side of a one-to-many relationship.
Relationship- In Access, the association between two tables that share a field with matching values.
Subbdatasheet- In Access, a datasheet that is nested within another datasheet and contains records related to the records in the datasheet in which it is nested.

key terms Lesson 1/Unit 3


Database- Acollection of data related to a particular topic. An access database is a single file that contains all the tables, queries, forms and reports for that collection of information.

Database object- Tables , queries, reports, forms, and other objects that are functional parts of access Database

Database window- The window that appears when you first open an Access database. The database window gives you access to all the objects in a database.

Datasheet- In Access, data displayed in a row-and-columnformat in a table, query, or form.


Datasheet view- In access, an object view that displays records in a row-and-column format similar to a spread shee. Daata base view allows you to see many records at the same time.


Design View- In access, an object view that allows you to design and change tables, quaries, forms, reports, and other object.


Field- 1) in word, a special placeholder for changeable information such as the date or time.

2)In access, a field is diplayed as a column in Datasheet view.


Form- An access database object that holds control for entering, edeting, and displaying data from an underlying table or query.


Form view- In Access, an object view that usually displays data or one record at a time, with added graphical elements for easier reading. This view is convenient for entering and edeting data in tables.


Print Preview- A document view that shows how your document will look when its printed.


Query- In access, a database object that shows specific data you want to work with. The data may be drawn from multiple related tables, may have several filters applied, and may include calculated expressions.


Record- In access, a set of information that belongs together, such as a costumers name and address information, or details about a product.


Record Selector- In access, the gray box at the left side of the record in datasheet view or in form view. Click the record selector to select the entire record.


Relational Database- Atype of database in which information is stored in separate but related tables, which allows for nonredundant, more efficient data storage and retrival.

Report- In access, a database object that presents data organized and formatted to your specifications.

Table- 1) in word, a grid made up horizontal rows and vertical columns that is used to order certain information.

2) In access, a collection of data with the same subject or topic. Data are stored in records (rows)and fields (columns).

Timeline in PowerPoint-Reflection

this is a great way to teach people the old time/ history to be remembered and have it as a presence if each other teaches what they know!!
  1. teach one anothers knowledge.
  2. remeber the past.

"Sell an Automobile" Flyer-Reflection

I would buy the car looks and sounds interesting besides the 20/30 MPG sounds kindoff like a good deal in order to save money. It does not really answer all my question about the activities or the features this car includes. Well I know i could off done a better job than that but no I am not a strong seller!!
