Product Description
If you busted your chops programming such databases as dBASE, Paradox, or FoxPro, you're in for a pleasant surprise. If you've never programmed a database before, you may wonder what all the complaining was about. Microsoft Access is a big step forward from those earlier database programs, thanks to such features as SQL (Structured Query Language), OLE/DDE (Object Linking and Embedding/Dynamic Data Exchange), and Wizards that lead you step-by-step through many tasks. Access Programming For Dummies offers the fastest and most practical means of making the most of these and many other powerful Access features. Best-selling author Rob Krumm shows you how to do everything from building your own programs by using Access Basic and obtaining data by using SQL statements to customizing forms and reports by using expressions and macros. Best of all, Krumm shares with you his own foolproof methods for testing code, so your users can work with a bug-free database.
