Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Access 2007

This book offers users comprehensive information on using the new version of Access. Not only updated for the latest version, new chapters have been added on application automation with Access macros and collaboration with Microsoft SharePoint Team Server, both of which are hot topics. All chapters are updated for the transition from Jet to the new Access database engine. Detailed, step-by-step instructions with icons guide new readers through Access through table design, data addition, importing data from external sources, query design and execution, and designing data entry forms and printed reports. Additional chapters on advanced form and report design emphasize data-entry efficiency and presentation clarity.
