Using Analyze Table for Normalization of your Database in Access

Normalizing a table in Access is one of the most important steps toward having a database that actually works like a database. Typically, when you are the user of a database, you should be able to type information in one place and it should be accessible everywhere else. Normalization is the process of making sure that fields are placed in the correct tables, according to the primary key(s) of the table.
In Access, there is a tool to help with this process, which is called the Analyze Table wizard. You can also use it to confirm what has been built already. This wizard will look at a table, and give suggestions for separating the existing fields into more than one table. The nice thing about this wizard is that you can ignore suggestions, or improve upon them, name the new table suggestions (if you decide to go with the suggestions), and call out the primary keys. It is an especially helpful tool if you are struggling with the normalization process.

Some of the things that make us different:
Our training classes are live and instructor led - Our instructors are in the room with you, leading the class, and are available to answer questions face-to-face. We do not use blended training or mentored learning, in which an instructor video conferences into the room or proctors eLearning.
For computer classes, we provide the computers for you to use during the class. All you need to bring is yourself. We supply the rest!
We provide hard copy training manuals so you can take notes during class, and take them with you for future reference. Many of our classes also come with a Quick Tip sheet, for quick reference of the more commonly used topics from the class.
Free retakes - need a refresher on the topics you learned in class? You can retake your class up to 6 months from your original class date you attended.
Free workshops - many of our computer classes qualify for free workshop time, where you can get instructor assistance with your own projects. Its free consulting to help you apply what you learned to your own work.
Small class sizes - we don’t believe in cramming 100+ people into a hotel conference room. All of our classrooms max out at 12 to 16 students. So you can get more individual attention.
