"I am new to Microsoft Access and am unfamiliar with its use, specifically composing SQL queries. Will there be a significant learning curve in trying to use CETIS?"

You will need to know almost nothing of the Structured Query Language (SQL) because CETIS does all the work for you behind the scenes. Although you will need to know very little of the Access application to successfully use CETIS, the more you learn about Access, the more you can apply to using CETIS.

"The decision flowcharts that must be followed during the analysis of my toxicity data can be complicated and at times overwhelming. How will CETIS help me to insure I am analyzing my data correctly?"

CETIS implements decision-making logic that make most, if not all, decisions for you in terms of selecting the correct method and verifying that all assumptions are met. You can also override any software made decision and manually select methods and options of your choice.
