Re: [MS_AccessPros] Access 2007 books with large print

 

Thanks for all of the information, Crystal. It's good to know that most of the stuff in the 2013 books will still apply.
        I downloaded your 100-page tome and I'm going to have it printed at a FedEx office.
        I also downloaded your QATs, but I'm not sure what to do with them, or if I need them. I dislike the ribbon, but it hasn't really been a problem. I take it that the QATs provide additional options? Russ

Hi Russ,

Access Basics is on PDF format on Bill Mosca's site, That'll Do it, -- so you can zoom text to a comfortable level for reading.  This is a small book, only 100 pages, and is version independent.  It covers essentials of what you need to know to become a master with Access. 

Bill Mosca's MS Access Tools, Code and Samples



Obviously, this only has a fraction of the information in the Inside Out books, which are great.  I have them for every version of Access since 2007 -- in fact, that book is what gave me comfort to dive into 2007.  Amazing how lost one can feel when nothing seems familiar ... but there it was, the great Access I came to love, just in a different wrapper.

Microsoft has a number of articles on MSDN.   I don't see the link for the index to 2007, but not much has changed since then on the desktop ... each version, the ribbons change colors and the icons move around a bit but, in my opinion, the best way to use the ribbon versions is with a good QAT (Quick Access Toolbar).  I just uploaded a couple of my QAT customizations to the Files > Crystal section of this forum.

Take a look here for a general staring place on learning about Access via resources on the web that you can zoom (ctrl-MouseWheel):

Office client development | Access, Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint

 

I suggest learning using 2013 resources -- most everything you read applies to 2007 too, and you won't learn about what has been depreciated.

A good starting point for a serious journey into the capabilities of Access would be to set aside time for studying in your schedule and reading what interests you here:

To be able to program applications in Access, you must know what it looks like.  Don't skip the Access object model reference.

Good luck in your quest for knowledge ... Access is amazing

Warm Regards,
Crystal

~ have an awesome day ~
