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.
