When working in Microsoft Access, you can add filtering constraints to the query design grid to restrict the records that are retrieved for you. Microsoft Access also allows you to save filters you use frequently for later use. Watch this online tutorial to learn more about establishing constraints with criteria in Microsoft Access.
In addition to gathering and displaying records from data tables, we can add…filtering constraints to the query design grid to only display the exact records…we're interested in seeing.…Let's see how this works by exploring the data we've collected for…NoObstacles customers.…I want to start a new query in Design View by going to the Create Tab and then…pressing Query Design.…In the Show Table window, I am going to choose a couple of tables.…I'll choose Customers and I am going to double-click on the States table to add that.…Go ahead and close the Show Table window, and now we need to populate the grid…down below with fields from our tables.…
Let's go ahead and open up the Customers table a little bit so we can see all of…the fields, and I will just move this over a little.…From the Customers table, we're going to choose the FirstName, I will…double-click on that, double-click on the LastName to choose that, our phone…number, the state that they live in.…And then from the related States table, I'm also going to get the RegionName.…
