Description:Compared to industrial-strength database products such as
Microsoft's SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs
rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and
households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn't help
that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many,
in fact, that even the pros don't know where to find them all. Access
2007 breaks this pattern with some of the most dramatic changes users
have seen since Office 95. Most obvious is the thoroughly redesigned
user interface, with its tabbed toolbar (or "Ribbon") that makes
features easy to locate and use. The features list also includes
several long-awaited changes. One thing that hasn't improved is
Microsoft's documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the
features in Access 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help.
Access 2007: The Missing Manual was written from the
ground up for this redesigned application. You will learn how to design
complete databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of
information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry.
You'll even delve into the black art of Access programming (including
macros and Visual Basic), and pick up valuable tricks and techniques to
automate common tasks -- even if you've never touched a line of code
before. You will also learn all about the new prebuilt databases you
can customize to fit your needs, and how the new complex data feature
will simplify your life. With plenty of downloadable examples, this
objective and witty book will turn an Access neophyte into a true
master.
