[Year 12 IT Apps] ITA sample questions revisited

[Leanne Wright]

With searching you have to set up the criteria each time you carry out a search. A query saves the criteria and can perform the same search several times without criteria being set up each time. As you suggest queries can be much more specific but the main difference seems to be the permanent nature of queries vs the temporary of searches.

In the sample questions for the new course...
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/infotech/it-applications/exams.html

Section B, question 3. I'm stumped trying to work out the difference
between doing a search and doing a query.

Are they not the same thing in Access? You find certain values in one
or more fields and show the results...

Except a query can also calculate new values from existing data.

Any other difference?
