Q&A.jpg (1273 bytes) Q&A to Access

From Symantec Q&A

To Microsoft Access

Flat file "spreadsheet" table database for DOS

Fully relational database using Windows

We converted a Q&A database to Access for the Hopewell Township in New Jersey.  This was a challenging project because their Q&A database had over 1000 fields.  We organized them in to 15 tables so they could fit the 254 field per table limitation of Microsoft Access.  This also made the database more organized and relational.  After converting the database, our instructor went to their office in New Jersey to give the staff training on the new system.
