Courses - Microsoft Access 307
Description: Advanced Access
Running Time: 74 minutes
Pre-Requisites: Access 306 very strongly recommended
Versions:
We use Access XP in this course, but the lessons are valid for all versions of Access from 95 to 2003. There are cosmetic changes in Access 2007. Order before 7/7/2008 to get a FREE upgrade to our 2007 version when released!
 

Access 307 continues our advanced Access database development with VBA programming.

This class focuses on creating a custom search button for your forms - where you can place a command button next to a commonly-searched field (say, LastName) then click on it, type in part of the last name, and Access will search for it. We'll learn all of the VB code behind such a feat.

We'll also look at dynamic combo boxes - where the values in the combo box can change or be changed by other fields. I'll show you an example where one combo box can be used to change the values in another (pick a state in one box and it shows you only cities from that state to pick from in the next one, for example).

We'll learn some simple database security - I'll show you how to set up a database password. We'll see how to convert between different Access versions, and how to create a secure MDE file. I'll also show you the database splitter wizard.
