Skills Update D - Database Skills

Okay, I have never used Microsoft Access before today.  I watched a tutorial on how to use some of the basics and just got started.  I decided to create a different database then what I put in my boot camp paper at the beginning of the course.  I wanted to do something that would tie into an elementary classroom rather than just something to merge with my newsletter.  After doing some researching and learning more about what databases could do, I decided to make a database about the 50 states and have each field be a different feature of the states - capitals, area, population, date entered the union.  I thought it would be fun for a class to sort the states so that you could see how the states rank in different fields.
