A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

If you are developing databases for your own use, the process need not be complicated. But when you build databases for clients, many of whom may not be familiar with Access or comfortable with databases in general, you have a lot more work to do. I hope this book will make that process easier.

In these pages, I will teach you how to set up tables and relationships to ensure that the database is properly normalized. Then I ll help you write VBA code to create the connective tissue that turns a bunch of tables, queries, forms, and reports into a complete and coherent application. We ll pay special attention to the important but often inadequately documented area of Automation code, which is used to communicate with other Office applications.

Over years of working with Access, I ve created some add–ins to save time when developing applications. I ll show you how to use them to create a main menu for an application, automatically apply a naming convention to database objects, and ensure a consistent and professional appearance of the application s forms.

This book helps you write VBA code that unites database components into an application that works.
