Description
Microsoft Access Advanced – Subforms, Events, Macros and Switchboard
Microsoft Access Advanced Course Summary
In this manual, we will cover all the controls used to insert fields into Forms and Reports. Also included are also manydatabase management tools to help organize and control data. The capabilities of Events (and how you would use an Event to trigger an action) will also be discussed. Furthermore, Macros is a fundamental aspect of Access that can perform many different operations for controlling data. Switchboards can allow you to create a menu system in order to access your Forms, Reports and Queries. Navigation Forms are a new way to navigate by creating a menu system to run Forms, Reports and Queries. Lastly, a Splashscreen can be used to provide version and contact information when a database is first opened.
Course Outline:
Chapter 1 – Report and Form Controls
In this chapter, you will learn how to use all of the controls and placing fields.
Chapter 2 – Events
An Event is the result of initiating an action on an object. This action could be as simple as positioning the mouse on a button , field, control, form, rolling the wheel (on a mouse), or typing on thekeyboard, etc. The names on most Events start with the word “On” and when an Event is fired, it is executed. Events have much to do with time, and the words “before” and “after” will determine when the Event is fired. Events can be applied to Forms and Fields but fewer Events are needed to generate reports. We will cover Mouse, Focus Based, Keyboard, and Form Only Events.
