Access Forms & Reports For Dummies PDF Download
Access Forms & Reports For Dummies is a hands-on guide that uses real-world
examples to show you just what you need to know about Access and why you
need to know it. You won’t find a bunch of buzzwords and jargon. Rather, you
do find the solid information you really need and can’t find elsewhere about
creating queries, forms, and reports. Yes, I do give you good, solid information
about queries in addition to forms and reports because queries are an
essential element that will help you create better forms and reports.
Access Forms & Reports For Dummies is also a reference that you can use as
you like. If you have a specific problem you need to solve right now, you can
jump directly to the related topic and skip around as much as you want. But
if you really want to make Access work for you, I suggest that you read
through the entire book because you will discover many things you don’t
already know.
Finally, Access Forms & Reports For Dummies is for users of pretty much any
version of Access from Access 97 onwards. The basics of queries, forms, and
reports haven’t changed much, so you’ll find this book extremely helpful no
matter which version of Access you use.
Conventions Used in This Book
We’ve used a few conventions in this book to make it easier for you to spot
special information. Here are those conventions:
New terms are identified by using italic.
Web sites addresses (URLs) are designated by using a monospace font.
Any command you enter at a command prompt is shown in bold and
usually set on a separate line. Setoff text in italic represents a placeholder.
For example, the text might read:
Enter the following expression, using your own name and dynamic
report title:
= “Report title”&[CurrentProject].[Name]
Command arrows, which are typeset as ➪, are used in a list of menus
and options. For example, Tools➪Options means to choose the Tools
menu and then choose the Options command.
Key combinations are shown with a plus sign, such as Ctrl+F2. This
means you should hold down the Ctrl key while you press the F2 key.
All Access properties and fields are set apart in monospace font, as well,
like this: Use the Input Mask property of the Data tab to create an input
mask.
Wherever I instruct you to use a snippet of code, I set it apart like this:
INSERT INTO LIVEWINBID
SELECT [Auction 67].*
FROM [Auction 67];
What You Don’t Have to Read
I always have a hard time telling people that they don’t have to read certain
parts of a book if they don’t care to. You can find some really useful information
hidden away in things like the text next to Technical Stuff icons, but I
understand if you feel that there isn’t room in your brain for one more bit of
technical information. Maybe the best thing that I can recommend is that if
you don’t want to read the whole book now, start by reading what looks the
most interesting and then, after you’ve discovered how much really cool stuff
I include, go back and have a look at what you missed the first time. You’ll be
glad you did!
How This Book Is Organized
Access Forms & Reports For Dummies has six parts. Each part is selfcontained,
but all the content is somewhat interconnected. That way
you’ll see the most useful information without a lot of boring repetition.
Part I: Accessing Both Ends:
Getting Data in and Info Out
This part shows you the basics of queries, forms, and reports. You see how
these pieces fit together and I make sure that you have the fundamentals
down pat so that you have a good foundation for the rest of the topics.
Part II: Creating Effective Queries
Queries enable you to work with sets of data instead of simply dumping
everything into the pot. This part shows you how to create effective queries
that enable you to pick and choose what shows up in your forms and reports.
You even see how you can step beyond simple queries by having a look
underneath the fancy face that Access throws onto your queries.
Part III: Building Really Useful Forms
Forms make data entry and editing into a much easier task. This part shows
you how to create forms that really are useful, and it tells you how to create
forms that tackle data from more than one table at a time — for even greater
efficiency.
