Access 2010 can be used to easily create some pretty feature-rich solutions. Its scope, however, is
extremely broad. Non-technical power-users can create fairly sophisticated applications, and developers
can do even more with it. Because the 2010 release provides integration with SharePoint, you can even
use Access to build SharePoint solutions.
When I first started writing this book, the first challenge I had was to define the target audience,
because Access users range from completely non-technical to senior developers. While some of the
chapters are fairly technical in nature, this book is designed to be accessible for novice power users to
intermediate developers. This book does not require any prior knowledge of Access.
The next challenge was how to best present such a vast amount of information. My goal in writing
this book is to really teach you Access; not just give you a lot of facts. My intent is to cover the core
concepts and cover them well, rather than detail an exhaustive list of features. I have always found the
mentor-apprentice model to be very effective. So with that in mind, I decided to build a solution using
Access 2010 and invite you to work alongside me. As we work together, I’ll answer the whys, as well as
the hows.
Each chapter builds upon the previous one and explains a core competence that Access developers
will need to master. We’ll start with by defining a data model, and then write data macros to implement
business rules. Along the way, you’ll add forms and reports, with each chapter introducing new
concepts. The later chapters will cover more advanced topics such as distributing the application,
publishing to SharePoint and integrating external data sources.
I recommend that you work through each chapter in sequence. However, I have saved a copy of my
database at the end of each chapter, which you can download from www.apress.com. So if you want to
skip to Chapter 7, for example, you can download the database from Chapter 6 and use that to work
through the exercises in Chapter 7.
In each chapter, I provide detailed set-by-step instructions so you can follow along and implement
each exercise yourself. If you prefer, you can also download the completed chapter and refer to the
implementation as you read the chapter.
