Whoa! What happened to menu bars, toolbars, and all that other stuff I used to have? Well, in case you haven’t noticed yet, they’re all gone. Of course, if you never used Access before in your life, then you’re starting fresh, so never mind. Whether you never used any version of Microsoft Access, and aren’t even sure what a “version” is, you’ve come to the right book.

The basic idea behind Microsoft Access is to allow individuals and small businesses to manage large amounts of information the way the big corporations do — with relational databases. The difference is that while the big boys spend millions on computer hardware, software, and staffs of nerdy database-administrator types, Access allows you to do it all yourself with a run-of-the-mill PC and a realistic software budget.

Microsoft Access 2007 is the latest-and-greatest version of a long line of Access versions, starting (not surprisingly) with Version 1. Not that this is the 2,007th version. Somewhere along the way Microsoft switched from using sequential numbers for versions to using years — an idea first pioneered by the automotive industry, which sells things like “2007 Ford Mustangs” as opposed to “Mustang Version 9.3’s.”

Without going into boring detail about what’s new in Access 2007, you find the usual kind of stuff you find in new versions these days — more power, more flexibility, more things you can do with it. And of course — along the lines of the Holy Grail of Everything Computerish these days — more taking advantage of everything the Internet has to offer. But the most noticeable change for the Access-experienced is a whole new look and feel — along with some new ways of doing things.

Updated to cover all the latest features and capabilities of Access 2007, this resource provides new and inexperienced Access users with nine task-oriented minibooks that cover beginning to advanced-level material
Each minibook covers a specific aspect of Access, such as database design, tables, queries, forms, reports, and macros
Shows how to accomplish specific tasks such as database housekeeping, security data, and using Access with the Web
Access is the world's leading desktop database solution and is used by millions of people to store, organize, view, analyze, and share data, as well as to build powerful, custom database solutions that integrate with the Web and enterprise data sources
