You are well past the basics; you are the expert that others look to when they need help getting the job done with Microsoft Access. Now, take your database skills to the next level! Go well beyond the 'what is Access' or the 'how to use Access' variety of book with this guide to database and application development using Microsoft Access (versions prior to Access 2007). Learn to-
• Design tables and relationships for maximum effectiveness
• Learn the secrets of parameter query design to get the data you need on demand
• Design forms and reports that display and summarize data precisely as it is needed
• Put it all together by creating complete applications that others can use with no specialized Access training
Creating Applications with Microsoft Access is a get-it-done guide for developing complete custom applications using Microsoft Access, the world’s most popular Windows-based database management software. You’ll find coverage of ‘beyond-the-beginner’ topics such as laying a solid foundation for your databases by means of table relationships, rapid application development with the aid of the command button wizards, and techniques for user interface design that will keep your users satisfied.
Microsoft Access is the corporate standard for creating desktop database solutions. If you are a power user who serves as the ‘office guru’ for everyday users of Access, or a developer for a corporate or government agency who must gain a familiarity with Access as a development platform for applications, you’ll find this book to be a must-read. This book is designed for experienced Microsoft Access users who are learning to develop applications for the first time, and for experienced programmers who are moving to Microsoft Access from another development system.
NOTE that this book details versions of Access prior to Access 2007. If you are using Microsoft Access 2007 or Access 2010, look for the newer title in this series 'Creating Applications with Microsoft Access 2010', also available through Amazon.
