Five Different Queries In Focus

In this chapter our sole focus would be on one of very important objects in MS Access i.e. Queries. You can see drop down list of all different kinds of MS Access Queries by first clicking ‘Queries’ object and then clicking ‘New’ as shown in the picture below.

As a result of this action a window will popup having the title ‘New’. Select the option of Design View and click the <OK> button. Basically you are commanding MS Access that you would like to create a new query in Design View.

MS Access then asks for tables/other existing queries required for this new query, click cancel for now. We can always add tables later. Once done we will be in MS Access query Design View. On the tool bar you will see the icon with the drop down arrow as shown in the picture below.

 

This drop down menu will show you all different types of Query options we have in MS Access. Now lets talk about each of these different types of queries briefly one by one to comprehend the bigger picture of the whole story. After this, we will be talking about each of these types in much more detail.
