How do you create a parameter query?
Open a new query in Design view and add the table you want. Add the fields you want into the design grid. Under the field you want to be able to have a parameter for, in the Criteria row enter a meaningful message inside square brackets. So if you were looking for the user to enter a department that would then be used as the criteria, you could have something like the following in the Criteria row under that field:
[Enter a department]
When the query is run, it will prompt you with whatever has been typed into the square brackets and you can then type in what you want into the dialog box that pops up. Whatever you type will be used as the criteria. It is not important what exactly is typed into the square brackets. It is the square brackets themselves that are important. Without them, what you type in the criteria could be treated as text and have quotes put around it, or as a number or whatever the data type of the field is. Access does not know what the text in the square bracket means and it is asking you for something, which is how a parameter query works. You can also use some operators with it. So if you wanted to only show values above a certain level, you could put the greater than sign before the parameter, like this:
>[Enter a value]
What you seem to be describing is a Query. Databases run queries when the humans want information out of the database. Microsoft Access has a separate Table structure for creating and running Query. The correct answer is called a Run.

What is the difference between database and table?
A table is an object inside a database. A database has tables of data, views, indexes and programs. A database can have 10 or thousands of tables.
More specifically, a table is a collection (rows) of data on a single related topic. For example, the Employees table would have employee data, each row being a different employee, but it would not have Inventory data. That would be in the Inventory table.
A database is a collection of objects, primarily tables, but also indexes to help search the tables, views that filter, select and combine the data in the tables, and stored procedures (pre-defined programs that perform specific actions on the database).

What is the purpose of cascade update related fields according ms access?
Just like Cascade Update Related Fields updates any record you change to the other table you have made a relationship with, Delete does the same thing! Delete one record and the other table which you have also made a relationship with will be deleted aswell.
Yes, you can actually create simple spreadsheets in Word. By using tables you can lay out numbers and use some simple formulas to do calculations for the rows and columns, like in a spreadsheet. However, Word is very limited in what it can do in that regard, so people would not really use it to do that. A lot of people don't even know it can do that. What people do is use an actual spreadsheet application, like Excel, to do their spreadsheets. If necessary, they can copy some completed calculations into Word, where it will appear as a table.
Which default Database roles are created when you create a Database?
To create a database you need to name a file and add that to Microsoft excel :) hope that helps :)
What is referencial integrity in access?
Referential Integrity is a set of rules that a DBMS (Database management system) follows to ensure that there are matching values in the common field used to create the relationship between related tables and that protects the data in related tables to make sure that data is not accidentally deleted or changed.
In access which view allows you to make quick changes to a report prior to printing it?

How do you export data from access to excel?
Use the import function and select the spreadsheet you wish to bring in. You can create a new table in Access, or you can make sure the column headings match up and bring it into existing tables.
What data type should use if want a field to contain a combination of numbers and text?
A text field can contain both numbers and text, so that is what you would use.
Is Microsoft access a database or a spreadsheet?
No it is not. However, there are a lot of things that both a database and a spreadsheet can do, so Access does have some capabilities to do what a spreadsheet can. Spreadsheets focus on numeric analysis and manpulation, so mostly concentrate on numbers. Databases deal with processing lists of data, some of which would be numeric, but it works with a lot of other kinds of data. Microsoft Access is a database and that is what it is designed to be, so it is not a spreadsheet.
A database record is a row of data in a database table consisting of a single value from each column of data in the table. The data in the columns in a table are all of the same type of data, whereas the rows represent a given instance. Example Table: ========================================================== Column Names: ID FirstName LastName BirthDate ========================================================== 1 George Gray 1/6/1960 2 Thomas Green 2/29/2000 3 Cynthia Black 5/30/1976 ========================================================== For the given table above, an example of a column of data would be FirstName. All the values in that column are first names. An example record (or row) would be the record with ID = 2 which represents the record for Thomas Green and contains each field from that row. Properly designed relational databases use "primary keys" to uniquely identify records in a database. The value (or values) that compose the key must uniquely identify the entire row and only that entire row in that table. That primary key can then appear in another table to represent a relationship between that table and another table. In the example above, the ID column would serve as the primary key for the table.
What is a collection of data that is stored electronically as a series of records in a table?
A database.
Are tables and databases the same in access?
A table is really just one part of a database. The database consists of other things like the queries and reports. In general we do specifically think of the tables as being the database as that is where the data is stored and tables are central to everything else. As there can be multiple tables and other things as part of the system the term database is used to cover them all as one or as what is called a database management system.
My sql, Microsoft sql , Microsoft Access, dBase, Filemaker pro are the examples for dbms and oracle and sql server are the examples for rdbms
A contains a specific piece of information within a database row.?
To be totally accurate, a table holds data, not information. The answer to your question is a record. Data is the individual facts like a date of birth or a name etc. Information is derived from data. So for example, while you may have a list of dates of birth, nowhere does it specifically tell you something like how many people were born in April or who is the second oldest person. However you can write queries and do other things to find those things out, and that is information.
