Riassunto

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.
