This project was a great learning experience for me. In the past I have only used Microsoft Access during another course, and I have not had the opportunity to use it in the business world. The opportunities seem to be endless and only limited by the user’s imagination. I especially like the ability to create a form and protect it so that end users cannot alter it. I found the query function to be the most useful tool and the ability to sort results made dealing with large amounts of data very easy.
I think one way to enhance the functionality of this database is to link the information of those with expired memberships to a form letter in Microsoft Word or outlook via a merge. This will enable you to easily contact these members and entice them to return with some type of promotion. More importantly it may be a way for you to learn more detail about your attrition. Perhaps you will learn that members are leaving due to rates, or better programs at a competing gym.
