Thank You,

Pre-Requisite Note: Four of the courses assume that before taking them you will have taken a course in creating a website which, as a result, is a site currently alive and working on the UMKC personal website area. If you don't have that already under your belt you will be spending much more time than necessary trying to create your site and make a multimedia links page. And I will have to give you a short, short course in web pages in addition to this course.
NOTICE: Because of changes on campus from Office 2003 to Office 2007 the Access Database course has overlapping lessons, one set for Access 2003 and the other for Access 2007. Because you may have either version, click the lesson links for the version you are working with.
Personal note on Office 2007 : These are not really changes and improvements. These are mostly cosmetic blankets which add a ton of overhead (chewing up more CPU cycles without giving more worth). Some are losses, not improvements, especially in killing most of the menus and substituting tabbed tool bars. There are a couple of actual improvements but puzzling and largely incomplete. I've been actively doing database programming since the early 80's (my first FORTRAN program was in the fall of 1966 on an IBM Systems 360, but I was so non-comprehending it is hardly worth counting except to note the date). Xerox's PARC had an electronic office going in the early 1970's. Office applications were common and widespread in the late 70's to early 80's already. By then we had the 90-95% of the core functions we have had ever since. The recent changes in Microsoft Office look to me more like some new manager trying to justify why he or she was hired than it looks like needed changes.
