• Access 2007 tips and tricks from the team

  18 Dec 2007

  Months ago I posted a three part tips and tricks series on Access 2007 on my personal blog . I recently got feedback that the series should be posted on the Access team blog--makes sense as this blog gets about 3 million more hits a month than my personal effort. -------------- I have been working on...
• Sorting Nav Pane Objects by Description

  3 Oct 2007

  I've recently had some questions from users who used to sort their DBC by the description field and wanted to be able to do the same thing in the 2007 navigation pane. If you use this scenario, and you've tried in 2007, you'll know that the navigation pane doesn't have a sort by the description field...
• Navigation pane tip of the day

  20 Aug 2007

  I learned a new trick today from Michael the PM for the navigation pane. We have heard a few of you have missed the ALT D shortcut to open an object in design.

The Nav Pane works great, is easy to expand and collapse sections, and so on, but the list can still get long enough to be hard to find things quickly. So, we've added the ability to filter it....
• Better Navigation in Less Space

  21 Nov 2005

  One of the areas we worked hardest at in Access 12 was in simplifying the UI and using available screen real estate. As you know in Access 2003 new objects are opened in a new window. It is not uncommon for a simple Access application session to have 8-10 windows open at a time. As new windows open the...
• Security followup

  1 Nov 2005

  This is a consolidated post covering the main things that came up about security. Again sorry for the delay on getting this out. Also note the post has links to the pictures rather than in-place thumbnails. I'll get them moved to a better home where I can reference them directly tomorrow. I took away...
