Answer 1

The answer is (D) I'll show you how to set up a simple database with one table called 'recipes.' You'll be able to manage it and run simple queries on it to find specific recipes very quickly and easily. All you need is some rudimentary knowledge of access to get the job done.

Spreadsheets are not bad for number crunching. However, if you have lots of data, you may benefit from efficient data management tool. Replacing spreadsheets with databases help you manage data centrally, safely and securely. By employing a database, you can avoid making mistakes like miscounts and data entry errors.

Learning Access can be a little bit daunting and intimidating. Through self-dedication, one can conquer and learn to create simple but functional database.
