Summary: This is the first of a three-part series of workshops that serve as a general introduction to Microsoft's Access 2003 database program. In Part I we will learn how to create a database to manage your personal multimedia collection. You may bring a list of the DVDs, CDs, MP3s, VHS tapes, and audio cassettes you want to organize to class. These courses are designed for adults with some computer experience but little or no previous database experience.
