Our deepest thanks to the professionals at John Wiley & Sons for all the hours of work put into bringing this book to life. A special thankyou goes out to our families for putting up with all the time spent locked away on this project.

Welcome to Access 2019 Bible, your personal guide to the most powerful desktop database management system available today.

If you've picked up this book, you've probably already recognized that Microsoft Access can help you manage your data in ways that no other application can. Even the king of applications, Microsoft Excel, can't do what Access can. Now, it may seem silly to compare Access (a database management application) with Excel (a spreadsheet application), but there is no doubt that Excel is being used every day to manage and analyze large amounts of data in all kinds of organizations. Indeed, you may be opening this book because you need to get past the limitations of Excel.
