Dear Kevin, do you have an video that covers the advance level?
Help! 25:28 😢 my query isn't same as yours I have triple checked every tiny detail to make sure that I'm doing the right thing
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Help please I'm confused , in the field of revenue per cookie, what does that mean exactly?
Do you have to make up people
Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are A lifesaver. You taught me this in 31mins and my teacher couldn't in 3hrs. I have a test coming up on database and this helps me greatly. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Mine couldn't trach me in months 😅
😅😅😅😅 good one
I have also a test tomorrow
I also have a test tomorrow to
I felt this.
I feel confident enough to call this TH-cam channel ''Kevin University." Thanks, Kevin.
😢
Hmm
Kevin cookie university
Literally, my uni in introducing us to databases through Ms access and he explained it way better than the lecturer did
I agree with Dave’s comment👌
I’m more of a watcher and rarely give comments but I had to speak on how helpful this video was, and how much it will help me at work.
Thank you, Kevin! You show everything without showing too much, and you explain things very succinctly for those of us who have NO clue, but you also don't talk down to us. You are a great instructor, and I will seek you out for other training!
I agree
I love u Kevin
Yep, just subscribed to the channel.
Oh my ....! It is absolutely fantastic to see how you managed to pack our 2 months of Access academic course in just 31 mins. Thank you so much, Kevin! 😍🥰
and 2x speed 15.5 minutes ;)
Absolutely.
Sure sure. I need your email Kevin
He put your course in 31 mins, offers it for free and you thank him? Maybe your students will come here instead of going to your course?

Kevin is a great educator. Very informative - not too short, not too long - just the right size. Very helpful. It has been ages since I last time used Microsoft Access and Kevin's video was a great refresher! Cheers and thank you
My name is Sumani Kudus and I'm watching this video from Ghana, West Africa. I'm a student of the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Your video has really made Access soo simple for me. I'm having a presentation on Access and with the help of your video I'm pretty sure everything will be easy for me. Thank you!
This was an excellent course! I've been tasked by my customer to create a database using Access, but I have never used Access before. I watched a few other tutorials, but they were either outdated, over simplified, or targeted to a user not familiar with a computer at all, providing more information than a generally experienced Windows user needs. This course is streamlined with clear, concise directions and lots of hands on examples. I created a database alongside Kevin, during the video and it's easy to pause or rewind if it gets ahead of you, or you need further clarification of a step. I will definitely subscribe to more of these videos. Great direction, thanks Kevin!
Kevin, i am an Office Trainer in Germany since 1999. I have to say, that you are realy impressing me with your very deep knowledge and the very kind and genius way to make everything easy to understand. You are how an excellent Trainer should be!👍
How dare Excel limit me to a million rows?!?!
All jokes aside, this was incredibly useful since I've not used Access before. Thanks Kevin!
This was an amazing tutorial to refresh my brain on my Microsoft Access class from 2001. I am an independent bookseller and have an affiliate site where I can get an Excel report of all of the info, and way more than I even need. Now I have all of my customers entered, the books they've purchased, dates, sales, commissions, etc. It's so nice to just click their name and see their entire order history rather than scrolling through a bunch of cells. Thank you!!!
This is amazing... truly a work of art. With your help Kevin, you are going to help me be SO successful in the early stages of my career. The lack of this knowledge throughout companies is mindblowing and you're really giving so much information in such a great and digestible way. Thank you sincerely.
It's been a long time since I have used Access. I needed a great refresher from start to finish for the basics. This is by far one of the best technical tutorials I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video Kevin! I'm trying to take a large, unwieldy spreadsheet and create a database that will tell me what 3rd party vendors are going to be at which site and the date. You've given me enough information to take a crack at it. Your style of explanation is easygoing and understandable. You truly have the heart of a teacher! I've subscribed and liked!
FINALLY! I understand Access. Couldn't image learning anything in just 30 minutes but you nailed it. 20 years of struggling on my own and giving up ... and this video is like life!!
Likwise. Gone through many videos but this one is by far the best presented
@@markheathcote9420 how to download access
This is by far the best introduction to Access I've seen so far. This will actually get me started in creating some very useful databases.
You made MS Access easy to learn. You are amazing. Thank you very much!
WOW! In half an hour I have learnt so much than what I was thought in college several years ago. Thank you Kevin
Thanks Kevin. We need part 2 on how to import data from different sources like Excel and others. More Access tutorials would be so nice.
Yes indeed, we need more on importing data.
After viewing, I feel READY to get started with Access ~ Breathe of Topics & Consise Information make this video a Winner!
I agree with Andrew, an instruction Video on importing, merging and cleaning the records from my phone's numerous contact sources would be very useful. (Contacts in phone, Google Contacts, etc.)
Great work! Keep them coming!
I agree! Keeping my eye on this!
Great job. Example of importing antiquated Excel file into data base would be great.
I was so nervous about my interview as an analyst but your videos gave me the refresher and confidence I needed! Thank you!
How’d it go ? 😅
I used access 30 years ago to create lots of databases and in a half hour you restarted my journey back to the next chapter in creating a grant writing database... Smooth teaching, easy to follow, thorough and no over talking.... That's what I call a great tutorial!!! Thanks a million 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
❤
This is excellent! What an amazing teacher you are. In just 31 minutes, it is like a whole package taught.
Wow! Really good tutorial and encouraging to get started! Concise, informative, and simple. Well done!!
This channel is best of the best, which never fails you. I have been struggling with Access in books and videos. However, this video pinpoint the essentials in half an hour and take you by the hand the necessities all you need to know. Then it leaves up to you to delve into deeper understanding thru other resources. Excellent. This, all in all, unlike others, that give you a huge info and bog you down. HEY, this succinct and effective principle also apply to his other videos that I watched. He's a genius in teaching, and knows the wants of greenhorns. Two thumbs up!!👍👍
That's the most succinct and clear Access tutorial I've watched! Really appreciate it! Hope to see more videos on executing SQL batches in MS Access.
my college professor made us watch this instead of teaching it himself to the class.
A lot of classes are like that😂😂😂
@@juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517 yeah I know, a lot of my classes were like that not just the one. Just sucked.
REAL
Same
This guy is good. He may be better than the teacher LOL
i really enjoy your lesson your the best teacher here on TH-cam i rate you 5 stars
You have made Access look so simple and easy! Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial Kevin : )
I've tried to make sense of this program off and on over many years. You just helped me to finally begin to grasp it which I never even came close before. Always gave up out of frustration. :) Thanks so much! Truly!
Very concise Kevin. No too much unnecessary wording and description added for the learning of a beginner like myself. I could just learn what Microsoft Access Database is from the short vedeo. You are a great instructor. Keep it up.
Beyond super! everything's just perfect - from the tutorial narrative to the presentations to the logic of actions, and that calm, kind voice! Makes everything so easy to grasp. Your video is heaven-sent. Thank you so much Kevin!
I like his voice as well.
I used access when I was working at an airline. I was great for building reports, data an etc. Love it.
You ability to explain everything so clearly and easily is out of this world.
Yes. A great short but informative beginner's guide. I accomplished way more from this short tutorial than all the textbooks and class lecture videos I've had to sort through which takes time.
Thank you, Kevin! Can you go more into detail regarding queries, forms and reports? MUCH appreciated!
You saved me on my final project for college. Thanks man.
Kevin, you're an excellent teacher! You took a complex subject matter and broke it down to a level that we all can understand in record time. Great job!👍
The way you explained every part, is very rare to find in other tutorials. Keep up the good work man❤❤
Fabulous intro! I was given a massive Access database (expected a way smaller Excel sheet, which I'm fairly proficient in) for work and was clueless. This was a lifesaver for the nonprofit I work at!!!
Wonderful tutorial for beginners with Access.
Access is so powewrfull tool, I used it a lot in the past for work. It will be nice if you create another video for more complex databases. It will show the power that Access has. As always thanks for sharing Kevin
Thank you Kevin!! Your videos are helping me so much to pass my database and computer information systems courses 😊
Kevin, you are the man. From my deep heart I really want to thank you very much for these efforts - much appreciated, good man. Please, keep on doing these amazing tutorials
This was an amazing tutorial, you held my attention throughout. Thank you very much, I've learned quite a bit.
Thanks for this video, Kevin. You have helped me a lot. I have had to learn how to utilize Access in one week, and because of your tutorial, I'm well on my way. I would love another video on Access. I am in the health profession, so I obviously need some help with the database part of my brain. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you Kevin. I got a lot out of this! The pace was great. It was super clear and easy to understand!
As an absolute beginner, I loved this tutorial. So, thank you so much Kevin !
Really like your instruction style: fast, practical and concise. 👌
Thank you so much Kevin. A very informative, organized, and easy to understand explanation.
Words are not enought to say thanks with how simple you made this, starting a new job requiring producing reports from databases, you are a life saver😃
I have to say this, you are absolutely amazing and have done such an outstanding job of explaining this in a small amount of time along with so much detail. It was easy to follow along.
This was a long-awaited tutorial. Thank you Kevin!
Glad to finally deliver it after such a long wait!
Love it mate! Short and Simple and covered everything in less than 30 mins. Absolutely brilliant!!!
31 mins
Thank you so so much for making this video. I am not able to go to the school and I still completed 2 chapters of my computer textbook while my computer teacher is still taking how to open Access and create a database. This was truly fantastic and did help me out a lot. Please keep making videos like these!!! ❤❤❤
This was awesome, all the fundamentals delivered clearly and succinctly.
Just subscribed, this was really helpful, I have been tracking customers and orders in separate excel sheets and it is quite clunky.
This is a huge help toward getting this all consolidated.
Thank you Kevin!
Yeah, He hit the nail on the head in just 31 minutes. He used customers and orders as examples. I will an example for driver training records for an organization. Tracking of training records, driver recruitment, accident record etc.
From not knowing anything about Microsoft Access to knowing everything through this video, it was very helpful!
I like this overview so I can actually get started in 30 minutes. Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
You are simply amazing Kevin. I've become more valuable and productive on my job based on what I've gleaned from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Extremely useful tutorial, great job - thanks! Would love more on MS Access, please. Especially wrt different kinds of data (not just sales) and different relational options.
Thanks Kevin. This video is quite simple and easy to understand. I previously thought it was so hard but now, I know better. Thank you.
I have been struggling for such a long time on how to design a database. This is very simple and easy to understand. By following along I managed to create my database.
Thank you so much, Kevin. You are so great at explaining. It would be great if you could show more about queries, forms and reports. How to and what they can be used for. Also, if you could explain how to use Drop Downs and Mulitple choices for Drop Downs, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks :-)
Very well done, completely cleared up the basics for me, thank you so much
I have to admit that by watching excellent programmes that my knowledge of both Microsoft Access/Excel is of absolute perfection-impeccably flawless and immaculately excellent to the highest degree! People may sound that I am cocky/arrogant, but you have to AGGRESSIVELY believe in your ability to make it! Thank you very much for the perfect videos, it has benefited/inspired me!
The best tutorial online! I have gone through many sites. Thank you
Thank you for this Kevin. I've been an Access *user* for years and this simple instructional video has inspired be to do some Access design for my business.
Oh, and "Orders Form"/"Customers Form"... nobody caught that ;-)
Kevin, this was SUPER HELPFUL! I am a beginner using access. Your tutorial was easy to follow, descriptive without being boring. Thank you. I am now proficient 🙂
This is amazing. Thank you so much Kelvin. I really enjoyed the tutorial and it has exposed me to the basics of database creation that i have been longing to know for a very long time now.
The tutorial is straightforward, clear and easy to understand.
thank you Kevin!
Another great tutorial! Thank you.
Is it too soon in an introduction tutorial to mention some best practices?
*Create field names w/o spaces - this will be of value / ease in queries.
*In each table, create a record ID field that is separate / unique from any User readable ID code.
*In each table, create a Date_Created field. You may never need to look at it, but it's very handy when troubleshooting.
*Name the table with tbl_ prefix. This will create clarity when the database eventually has a Customer table, a Customer form, a Customer report, etc.
Very good introduction to Access. Well done, sir. :)
Kevin I thank God for people like you. Great Tutorial!
Access exam in literally 2 hours. This was the perfect refresher! Thank you
Really solid introduction and also refresher. Hope you go on to do some slightly more advanced MS Access topics, like follow-ups to this great introduction. Thank you, sir.
Did he?
This was a great training video for a true beginner. Thank you very much for taking your time to make this video. It helped me tremendously. More tutorials for importaing data and other Access functionality would be great.
Thank you!!! your simplicity and knowledge are appreciated! I am extremely happy to have stumbled upon your tutorial!
This was so fun and easy! I haven't had to use Access since I learned it some 20 years ago. Thank you for making it so easy to follow.
Thank You, Mr. Kevin, for this Amazing Video. Please make a video on "How we can use MS Access online together collaborating as a team?"
Excellent introduction! I am a programmer who works with databases on daily basis but this time needed something simple for my personal task. Your course answered all my questions in 30 minutes! Thanks a lot.
Can i learn something from you?
@@rhondarobinson3443 I am not MS Access expert but I can answer some general DB questions if you like.
Hey Kevin, this is me from India! You cant imagine how simple you make it for people to learn such cool softwares. Thank You, Keep it up and all the best
Thank you so much. Not only the tutorial ,but the fact you didn't use 50 ads in your video.
Thank you so much for the video. I always wanted to see how you can use Access. No video in this world was briefly explained except this video. Learnt a lot and now I think I am gonna start loving access just like the way I love PowerPoint. You are such a great person. Also for the first time I have heard Kevin saying "Hey Everyone Kevin Here" instead of "Hi Everyone Kevin here". 1000 thank you's from me. :)
I think he said *Hi Everyone Kevin here* a lot of times! Probably your not an OG in his channel! I am watching Kevin for about 5 years! I wish to be Kevin JR for now!
@@SavageGothamChess Okay.. So the thing is I am into technology since 3 I use to type on my dad's laptop I use to play songs myself! Which gave me an interest in tech! My dad himself is very good at tech! So it makes sense even if I watch from 6!
@Nice Boy IK man! But still "Hi Everyone Kevin Here is in his channel"
@Nice Boy WDYM how will IK! Well that's still a fantastic achievement Nice Boy
Great video as usual Kevin. I love everything about all your videos. Quality content, great editing, different chapters and all those little details. Keep making these videos !
Much appreciated!
@@KevinStratvert Please I need MS Excel for complete beginners.
Thank you so much for this short tutorial. I have never used Access but am interviewing for a Non-Profit job tomorrow. I feel like I could pick this program up very quickly. Thanks!
This video was super informative and you made it so easy to understand the basics. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Concise, to the point, and well organized. Very non-threatening for someone such as myself, who's tech experience is limited.
oh snap! that intro though! 😎 Love the microsoft access tutorial.
Exactly!
I've been getting my hands dirty with Fusion in DaVinci Resolve and I'm loving it 😁
@@KevinStratvert It looks so good! Really cool work Kevin. I have been trying to learn adobe premiere, but maybe I will have to try out DaVinci as well :)
@@TylerStanczak Ikr! But the thing is Adobe Premiere Pro costs money! And which might be a little disappointing thing! But well Davinci offers all the main editing stoof! Well, I prefer Davinci! But 1 caveat is it takes tooooooooooo much space! Which just lags my PC :(
Thank you Kevin!!This is one of the best videos I have watched on Microsoft Access, it is so detailed and at the same time easy to understand.
This is a good intro to Access or a refresh for those beginners who stopped using Access and are coming back to use it. Thanks!
You literally covered whole 3 topics of my book
more videos about Access please
Let me know what other topics would be helpful. Cheers!
Wow thanks for the simple and clear walk through! I feel like I have a good start now to create my own databases with Access!
Thanks, you are a natural-born educator!
Fantastisch tutorial! straight to the point and crystal clear. Please do one on basic Excel and one how Excel compares to Access:)
6:28 - Fields in Access = Columns in Excel
Records in Access = Rows in Excel
11:48 - The field of "Customer_ID" is also refered to as a primary key. A primary key is a column designated to uniquely identify a table record.
For someone that has been out of the IT business for over 20 years, your beginner tutorial was so helpful at remembering what I used to do decades ago. Thank you so much!!
I just started to explore Microsoft Access. all this while I used Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. This tutor helps me to understand how to use Microsoft Access and its use. I hope to be able to use this Database apps in the future. Thank you Mr Kevin!!
Great intro to Access--much more clear than my first attempt. Do you have one yet for importing external sources, and things like graphics? That would be great!
This video is so helpful! Tomorrow is my computer exam and I didn't know anything regarding MS Access! But now I do!
sameeee bro like one vdo is enough and 15 marks are in the bag
