How to Create a Relational Database Address Book
Microsoft Office Access is used to create many different forms of databases. These may be relational or even object-oriented databases. You can create databases for anything from inventory management to something as simple as a list of your favorite CDs.
You can also create a relational database to use as a computerized address book. And, thankfully, you do not have to be a computer expert to create this database. You can use the Access wizard to help with each step.
