Assignment: Creating Database Access
Due to the increasing amount of employee discipline for technology violations, you created a Microsoft Excel workbook to use for tracking employees and their Netiquette violations in your department.

You feel this task can better be accomplished using Microsoft Access, as the company has several hundred employees.
