Access Project Book

Access Project Book

This is a project book that guides you through the process of building a traditional Access desktop database that uses one Access database as the front-end (queries, reports, and forms) and another Access database to contain the tables and data. By separating the data from the rest of the database, the Access database can be easily shared by multiple users over a network. When you build a database correctly at the outset, later this database can be migrated to another system with fewer issues and fewer objects that need to be redone. FEATURES * Understand the concepts of normalization * Build tables and links to other data sources and understand table relationships * Connect and work with data stored in other formats (Text, Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint) * Retrieve data with DAO, ADO, and DLookup statements * Learn how to process text files for import and export * Create expressions, queries, and SQL statements * Build bound and unbound forms and reports and write code to preview and print * Incorporate macros in your database * Work with attachments and image files * Learn how to display and query your Access data in the Internet browser * Secure your database for multi-user access * Compact your database to prevent corruption resulting in data loss
