9 Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 1 / 158 Chapter 1 - About Microsoft Access This chapter covers the following concepts The Access 2007 Interface An Overall Review of the Microsoft Office 2007 Interface 1.1 The Access 2007 Interface The following image displays the Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access screen, which displays when you start Microsoft Access This screen allows you to easily access (no pun intended) Featured Online Templates, Local Templates and other templates From Microsoft Office Online. You can also open existing databases (More ) and create a Blank Database from this screen. Figure 1-1: The Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access presents itself when you start Access

10 A Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 2 / 158 In the following image you can see a screenshot of the new Access Interface. What follows in this section is a quick walkthrough of the Access 2007 interface - unlike earlier versions of Access; this version of Access doesn't use toolbars and menus. The menus and toolbars have been replaced by the Ribbon, Tabs and the Mini Toolbar. B D I F Figure 1-2 : The Access Window K E H G C J

11 Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 3 / 158 The table that follows provides a cross-reference to the previous image, listing and explaining the various parts of the Access 2007 screen Table 1-1: The Various elements of the Access Interface Option A B C D E F G H I J K Is the Office Button. This is a replacement for the File Menu (in older versions of Access). Here are the options to create New presentations, Save and Open presentations, Print and more. Quick Access Toolbar. A small toolbar next to the Office Button, which you can customize and add more icons to launch options you would use most frequently. Ribbon. This has almost all of the commands that Access users need. The commands are organized as buttons within groups on the various Tabs of the Ribbon. Tabs. The Ribbon is comprised of tabs. Each tab presents different icons within groups. Group. A Group is a set of icons. Navigation Pane. The area on the left side of the window that displays your database objects. The Navigation Pane replaces the Database Window from earlier versions of Access. Object Window. Displays the Current Object (Table / Query / Report / Form etc ). Record Navigator. This is used for navigating from record to record and can also be used to filter and search for records. Status Bar. Provides information about the object like the current view, keyboard modes etc View Shortcuts. Used to quickly change the view of the current object. Tabbed Documents. Your tables, queries, forms, reports, pages, and macros are displayed as tabbed documents 1.2 Features of the Microsoft Office Fluent Interface While the overall look and feel of the new version of Microsoft Office is new, most people quickly become accustomed to the way the new way the various programs work The Ribbon The traditional menus and toolbars have been replaced by the Ribbon. The tabs on the Ribbon display the commands that are most relevant for each of the tasks in the programs. For example, in Access 2007 there are a set of tabs that are relevant to picture editing, tabs for working with animations, inserting objects, adjusting designs, reviewing and adjusting the way you view your presentations. The Home tab provides easy access to the most frequently used commands. Figure 1-3 : A Portioned view of the Access Ribbon (the Home tab is selected)

12 1.2.2 Quick Access Toolbar Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 4 / 158 The Quick Access Toolbar is where you will find (or place) your own frequently used commands. Essentially, you can use the Quick Access Toolbar to create shortcuts to the various features of Access. Figure 1-4 : The Quick Access Toolbar The Microsoft Office button Many of the most valuable features in previous versions of Microsoft Office were not about the document formatting and editing experience at all. Instead, they were about all the things you can do with a document: share it, protect it, print it, publish it, and send it. In spite of that, previous releases of the Microsoft Office applications lacked a single central location where a user can see all of these options in one place. The new interface brings together the capabilities of the Microsoft Office system into a single entry point: the Microsoft Office Button. This offers two major advantages. First, it helps users find these valuable features. Second, it simplifies the editing of documents by freeing up the Ribbon to focus on the actual creation and formatting of the documents. Figure 1-5 : The Office Button Contextual Tabs Certain sets of commands are only relevant when objects of a particular type are being edited. For example, the commands for editing a form are not relevant until a form is opened. Contextual tabs only appear when they are needed and make it easier to find and use the commands needed for the operation at hand.

13 Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 5 / 158 Figure 1-6 : The Form Layout Tools Contextual tab is only displayed when a form is displayed in Layout View Groups Groups are at the heart of the redesigned applications. Each Tab contains sets of groups. Groups provide a set of choices relevant to a particular concept. The traditional dialog box interfaces are still available for those wishing a greater degree of control over the result of the operation. Figure 1-7 : The Font group pictured here, presents clear "pick and click" choices Live Preview Live Preview is a new technology that shows the results of applying an editing or formatting change as the user moves the pointer over certain options. This new, dynamic capability streamlines the process of laying out, editing, and formatting which allows users to create excellent results with less time and effort.

14 1.2.7 Galleries Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 6 / 158 Galleries provide users with a set of clear "pick and click" results to choose from when working on their documents. By presenting a simple set of potential results, rather than a complex dialog box with numerous options, Galleries simplify the process of producing professional looking work. Figure 1-8 : A Screenshot of a Gallery

15 Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 7 / 158 Chapter 2 - Database Concepts and Planning We will now cover the following concepts Starting Access Browsing Access and it s common objects Access Database Concepts 2.1 Starting Microsoft Access Although there are other ways to start Microsoft Access, we are going to start Microsoft Access (under the assumption that you are using Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista) using the Windows Start button. In the following exercise, you will launch Microsoft Access. S T A R T I N G A C C E S S 1. Within Windows click the Start button (in the bottom left hand corner of the computer screen) 2. Click All Programs 3. Click Microsoft Office 4. Click Microsoft Access Microsoft Access should now start (as seen in Figure 1-1 on page 1) Opening an Existing Database By default when opening Microsoft Access, the Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access screen appears (Figure 1-1 on page 1) which allows you to easily access (no pun intended) Featured Online Templates, Local Templates and other templates From Microsoft Office Online. You can also open existing databases (More ) and create a Blank Database from this screen. In the following exercise, you will an open existing database and explore the various aspects and elements of a Microsoft Access database (assuming you have already started Microsoft Access). O P E N I N G A N E X I S T I N G D A T A B A S E 1. Assuming you have already started Microsoft Access (and that you are currently looking the at the, Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access screen),click the button (on the right hand side of the Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access screen)

16 Figure 2-1: the Open dialog box Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 8 / 158 In real life, the database you use may be in a different folder to the one we will be using in this workbook. 2. From within the Open dialog box, click the Desktop link 3. Still within the Open dialog box, double click the Access folder to open the folder (this folder was created when you installed the practice files) Figure 2-2: Open the Access 2007 folder 4. Within the Access folder, double click the Northwind 2007.accdb database file to open the sample Northwind 2007 database

17 Figure 2-3: the Northwind Traders sample database Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 9 / 158 Access 2007 has many new safety and security features. With many databases, certain design components of the database may cause the following Message Bar to appear. Figure 2-4: Security Warning Message Bar In most instances, in order for the database for function correctly you will need to enable the content. 5. Click the Options button on the Message Bar 6. Click Enable this content (as seen in Figure 2-5 on page 10)

18 Figure 2-5: Enabling content Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 10 / Click OK. From the resulting Login Dialog form, click Login 8. Leave the database open for the following exercise Navigating and Viewing Access Objects Before we start understanding database concepts (which is critical to effective database design) we will quickly explore the commonly types of database objects in Microsoft Access. The following exercise assumes you have completed the previous exercise and the Northwind Database is already open. E X P L O R I N G D A T A B A S E O B J E C T S 1. With the Northwind 2007 database open, on the Navigation Bar, click the drop-down arrow to the right of the words All Access Objects Figure 2-6: The Navigation Bar > All Access Objects > Object Type

19 2. Click Object Type The Navigation Bar should now display as follows Figure 2-7: All Access Objects displayed by type Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 11 / Within the Navigation Bar, click the option of Tables This displays a list of all the table objects within this database. Tables are explained in greater detail in Tables on page 17. Essentially tables are the objects that store the information in your database. 4. In the list of tables, double click the Products table Figure 2-8: Double click the Products table to display the contents of this table The content of the Products table is now displayed. Figure 2-9: A portioned view of contents of the Products table

20 5. Right mouse click the Products tab, choose Close Figure 2-10: Closing an Object The Products table is now closed. Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 12 / In the Navigation Bar, click on Tables bar to collapse (hide) the table objects list in the database Figure 2-11: Collapsing the Tables objects list 7. Drag the bar on the right edge of the Navigation Bar about 1cm to the right, to widen the Navigation Bar Figure 2-12: Widening the Navigation Bar 8. In the Navigation Bar, click the Queries option to display a list of all the queries in the database Just like in real life a query is a question. Queries are essentially questions asked of the information in a database. Queries are covered in great detail in Chapter 5 - Queries on page In the list of queries, double click the Top Ten Orders by Sales Amount query Figure 2-13: Running a saved query

21 Access 2007 Essentials PART ONE Page 13 / 158 Figure 2-14: The results of the query are now displayed By double clicking this query, Access asks the question of the database What are the Top Ten Orders by Sale Amount. We will learn how to design these questions later on. 10. In the Navigation Bar, click on the Queries option to collapse (hide) the query objects list in the database Figure 2-15: Collapsing the Queries objects list 11. In the Navigation Bar, click the Forms option to display a list of all the forms in the database A Form is typically (but not only) the contents of a table (or query) displayed in a user friendly form type interface. Generally speaking forms provide a user-friendly way for users to browse and enter (or extract) information from the database. Forms are the user-interface for a database. Forms are covered in greater detail in Chapter 7 - Forms on page 36 of PART TWO. 12. In the list of forms, double click the Shipper Details form In this instance, the Shipper Details form opens up in a new window.
