• New Access 2007 Articles on Office Online

  13 Aug 2007

  Thanks to Jeff Conrad on the Access test team for this: Office Online now has published four articles with material pulled from the Microsoft Office Access 2007 Inside Out book. This enormous book, published by Microsoft Press, is co-authored by Access MVP John L. Viescas and recent Microsoft hire Jeff...
• Access 2007 Template (.accdt) Files

  6 Aug 2007

  The new template work we did in 2007 is awesome, but I know it is not obvious how you can customize the template experience. There was at least one question in the newsgroups about this already, so I thought I would offer this up here as well. Template files in Access 2007 are a totally new file format...
• Access 2007 Books List

  28 Feb 2007

  I did a quick search out on Amazon to get the list of current and upcoming titles for Access 2007. There are really a ton of great titles out there from lots of different publishers. Content ranges from a complete Access reference like Microsoft® Office Access 2007 Inside Out to more targeted scenarios...
• Easy Settings for New Databases

  15 Jun 2006

  This is a quick post on a slick new way to make sure that all of your new databases are set up just as you like. I'm running a little behind on the next regular post as the netcard in the machine I use to build the screenshots expired, so that will be coming after I get my machine patched back together...
• Creating Schema

  14 Mar 2006

  One of the most basic tasks in Access is creating somewhere to put data - designing schema. My goal for today was to run through the basic schema creation tools, and to leave the new "complex data" schema creation for next time, but in looking at the last post , much of the most basic ground was already...
• Customizing the Issues Template

  13 Feb 2006

  Last time, we looked at the Issues tracking application that will ship with Access 12 and provide a simple place for users to get started with Access. This time, we'll look at some of the new tools available to modify that application. Each of these toolsets is a full post (or more) in its own right...
• The Issues Tracking Application in Detail

  9 Feb 2006

  The Issues tracking application is a great example of the set of tracking apps mentioned last time. It is quite simple - only 2 primary tables (for Issues and Contacts), a few forms, and several reports. One of the goals for the tracking apps was to make them super simple to customize, so the Issues...
• Tracking Application Overview

  6 Feb 2006

  Access 12 and Windows SharePoint Services v.3 will enable out of the box “tracking applications” that can span the client and server or can run standalone on the client. A “tracking app” is a small data application that adds database functionality to the simple lists of data that many users keep in Excel...
• Getting Users Started in Access 12

  2 Feb 2006

  The first thing Access 12 users will see is a completely new getting started screen. Before Access 12, users are confronted with database concepts as soon as they boot the application - they need to understand object types immediately, and data types very quickly before they can begin to enter data....
• Overview of Access 12

  7 Nov 2005

  I've had a series of posts talking about the guts of Access 12, but haven't really talked about the gestalt of the product yet. It’s time to fix that. There are 3 key goals for Access 12. First, dramatically expand the number of people who are successful using Access by making it much easier to build...
