The database project was the most challenging, frustrating and valuable experiences I've had thus far. I learned how to construct a table and use access features like input mask, data type and the description field. The table portion of the project was not as challenging as the other tasks. I successfully imported data. I struggled with this step but after I used the proper import file type and data qualifier I imported all the data successfully!
The next step was the most challenging for me, creating a query. Selecting the data and using the design view made things simple but I struggled with the criteria for the accurate dates. Somehow I deleted information on my "members" table. This was frustrating and made it difficult to move forward with the project without starting completely over.
Everything the began to come together and kinda sort of became a little fun despite the tedium. I enjoyed creating the form and the report. This experience has taught me that if I want to apply this knowledge to my current job, I will have to a lot plenty of time (and patience) to complete different tasks until I become extremely proficient. The results of using a database are beneficial to anyone.
Additional ways to enhance the functionality of this database would be to create membership applications with the gym logos on the forms or attach member photos to their membership information.
