Brilliant Microsoft Access 2007 Forms, Reports and Queries

by PaulMcFedries (Author)

Synopsis

Microsoft Access is a large, intimidating program. Most people never progress beyond creating simple tables and using wizards to build basic forms and reports. At the same time, most users need to access, manipulate and organise information, and know that what they are looking for is embedded somewhere in their Access database. Without a more sophisticated knowledge of how to extract and present that data, most users are forced to rely on in-house office gurus , unwieldy and non-user friendly manuals and overworked IT people to provide canned reports or one-size-fits-all solutions.

This book changes all that by giving users the skills to build efficient front-ends for data (forms), publish the results in an attractive and easy-to-read format (reports), and extract the data that they need (queries). This book shuns the big Access picture and instead focuses intently on forms, reports, and queries. Throughout the book there are no-nonsense, step-by-step tutorials and lots of practical examples aimed directly at business users.
