Due to deprecated features in Access , its runtime version is also unable to support those older features. Access stores all database tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules in the Access Jet database as a single file.

For query development, Access offers a "Query Designer", a graphical user interface that allows users to build queries without knowledge of structured query language.

In the Query Designer, users can "show" the datasources of the query which can be tables or queries and select the fields they want returned by clicking and dragging them into the grid.

One can set up joins by clicking and dragging fields in tables to fields in other tables. Access allows users to view and manipulate the SQL code if desired. Any Access table, including linked tables from different data sources, can be used in a query.

Access also supports the creation of "pass-through queries". This enables users to interact with data stored outside the Access program without using linked tables or Jet. When developing reports in "Design View" additions or changes to controls cause any linked queries to execute in the background and the designer is forced to wait for records to be returned before being able to make another change.

This feature cannot be turned off. Non-programmers can use the macro feature to automate simple tasks through a series of drop-down selections. Macros allow users to easily chain commands together such as running queries, importing or exporting data, opening and closing forms, previewing and printing reports, etc.

Macros support basic logic IF-conditions and the ability to call other macros. Macros can also contain sub-macros which are similar to subroutines. In Access , enhanced macros included error-handling and support for temporary variables. Access also introduced embedded macros that are essentially properties of an object's event. This eliminated the need to store macros as individual objects. However, macros were limited in their functionality by a lack of programming loops and advanced coding logic until Access With significant further enhancements introduced in Access , the capabilities of macros became fully comparable to VBA.

They made feature rich web-based application deployments practical, via a greatly enhanced Microsoft SharePoint interface and tools, as well as on traditional Windows desktops.

It is similar to Visual Basic 6. To create a richer, more efficient and maintainable finished product with good error handling, most professional Access applications are developed using the VBA programming language rather than macros, except where web deployment is a business requirement. In the database container or navigation pane in Access and later versions, the system automatically categorizes each object by type e.

Many Access developers use the Leszynski naming convention , though this is not universal; it is a programming convention, not a DBMS-enforced rule. Developers deploy Microsoft Access most often for individual and workgroup projects the Access 97 speed characterization was done for 32 users.

Databases under 1 GB in size which can now fit entirely in RAM and simultaneous users are well within the capabilities of Microsoft Access. Disk-intensive work such as complex searching and querying take the most time. As data from a Microsoft Access database can be cached in RAM, processing speed may substantially improve when there is only a single user or if the data is not changing.

In the past, the effect of packet latency on the record-locking system caused Access databases to run slowly on a virtual private network VPN or a wide area network WAN against a Jet database. As of , [update] broadband connections have mitigated this issue. Performance can also be enhanced if a continuous connection is maintained to the back-end database throughout the session rather than opening and closing it for each table access. In July , Microsoft acknowledged an intermittent query performance problem with all versions of Access and Windows 7 and Windows Server R2 due to the nature of resource management being vastly different in newer operating systems.

In earlier versions of Microsoft Access, the ability to distribute applications required the purchase of the Developer Toolkit; in Access , and Access the "Runtime Only" version is offered as a free download, [44] making the distribution of royalty-free applications possible on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Windows 8. Microsoft Access applications can adopt a split-database architecture. The single database can be divided into a separate "back-end" file that contains the data tables shared on a file server and a "front-end" containing the application's objects such as queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules.

The "front-end" Access application is distributed to each user's desktop and linked to the shared database. Using this approach, each user has a copy of Microsoft Access or the runtime version installed on their machine along with their application database. This reduces network traffic since the application is not retrieved for each use. The "front-end" database can still contain local tables for storing a user's settings or temporary data.

This split-database design also allows development of the application independent of the data. One disadvantage is that users may make various changes to their own local copy of the application and this makes it hard to manage version control. When a new version is ready, the front-end database is replaced without impacting the data database. Microsoft Access has two built-in utilities, Database Splitter [46] and Linked Table Manager, to facilitate this architecture.

Linked tables in Access use absolute paths rather than relative paths, so the development environment either has to have the same path as the production environment or a "dynamic-linker" routine can be written in VBA. For very large Access databases, this may have performance issues and a SQL backend should be considered in these circumstances. To scale Access applications to enterprise or web solutions, one possible technique involves migrating to Microsoft SQL Server or equivalent server database.

A client—server design significantly reduces maintenance and increases security, availability, stability, and transaction logging. This feature was removed from Access A variety of upgrading options are available. The corresponding SQL Server data type is binary, with only two states, permissible values, zero and 1.

Regardless, SQL Server is still the easiest migration. Retrieving data from linked tables is optimized to just the records needed, but this scenario may operate less efficiently than what would otherwise be optimal for SQL Server. For example, in instances where multi-table joins still require copying the whole table across the network. The views and stored procedures can significantly reduce the network traffic for multi-table joins. Finally, some Access databases are completely replaced by another technology such as ASP.

NET or Java once the data is converted. Further, Access application procedures, whether VBA and macros, are written at a relatively higher level versus the currently available alternatives that are both robust and comprehensive. Note that the Access macro language, allowing an even higher level of abstraction than VBA, was significantly enhanced in Access and again in Access In many cases, developers build direct web-to-data interfaces using ASP.

NET, while keeping major business automation processes, administrative and reporting functions that don't need to be distributed to everyone in Access for information workers to maintain. Microsoft Access applications can be made secure by various methods, the most basic being password access control; this is a relatively weak form of protection.

A higher level of protection is the use of workgroup security requiring a user name and password. Users and groups can be specified along with their rights at the object type or individual object level.

This can be used to specify people with read-only or data entry rights but may be challenging to specify. Available at: [Accessed 5 Nov. Advertising and Marketing on the Internet: Rules of the Road.

In addition, you can also go to the Backstage View to set your preferences for Publisher For now, click the arrow in the top left corner to return to the main Publisher window.

The Page Navigator is shown by default on the left hand side of the MS Publisher screen whenever you open a publication.

The Page Navigator shows you thumbnails of all pages in your file. For example, if you had a multi-page newsletter, the Page Navigator would show you thumbnails of each page. You can use this to easily navigate from page to page. You can click on a thumbnail to open it in the work space area. You can insert a new page, insert a duplicate page, delete the page, move the page up or down make page 1, page 3 , rename the page, work with the page numbers, or create a Master Page.

You can also view two pages at a time. Type in the number of new pages you want to create. Then, decide if you want them to come before the current page or after. You can also choose to insert blank pages, pages with one text box on each, or duplicate all objects on a certain page number. Make sure you type in the page number. By default, it shows you what page you are viewing and how many total pages exist in your file.

You can also use it to change views and zoom in or out of your publication. On the far left, you can see what page you currently have displayed in the work area. The work area is located below the ribbon and is where your page is displayed as you work on it. To the right of your page number, you will see an arrow that looks like a mouse cursor.

If you select an object on your page in the work area, clicking on the arrow will display its position on the page. When you click this arrow, you will see this pop-up box:. When you click on the options in this window, you can alter image sizes and locations. You can play with these different options to get a better feel for what they do. X and Y are the coordinates on the screen where the image or text box appears.

Adjusting these will move the image on the page. Adjusts the image width. Adjusts the height. Adjusts the rotation. Adjusts the spacing across a word, line, or column of text. The higher the percentage, the more spacing. This is called tracking. Allows you to shrink or stretch the width of the text characters. Allows you to adjust the kerning, or the space between two letters.

If you go to the right side of the Status Bar, you will see buttons to change views, as well as a slider to zoom in or out on the page in the work area. You can see it shaded above, which means it's our current view. To adjust zoom, simply move the slider to the left to increase the zoom — or to the right to decrease it.

As with all Microsoft Office programs, the Quick Access Toolbar is located at the top left of the screen. It looks like this:. The Quick Access Toolbar gives you fast access to the tools that you use the most.

For example, if you use a certain tool a lot, such as the Cut tool, you can add that to the Quick Access toolbar rather than having to use the Ribbon each time. In other words, you can choose which tools appear in the toolbar. These are the shortcuts that appear by default.

However, you can customize the Quick Access toolbar and add shortcuts so the tools you need appear there for easy access. To customize the Quick Access Toolbar, click the dropdown menu to the right of the toolbar. Click on the tools you'd like to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.

The tools that have a checkmark beside them are tools that already appear on the toolbar. By the same token, when you click on a shortcut, it will put a checkmark beside it, letting you know it appears on the Quick Access toolbar. If you want to add a shortcut for a tool that doesn't appear in the dropdown list, go to the Ribbon, then follow the following steps.

If you want to move a command button in the toolbar to a different location or group it with other buttons on the toolbar, click the dropdown menu on the right side of the Quick Access Toolbar.

Select More Commands, as highlighted below. In the right column, you can see everything that already appears on the Quick Access toolbar — and in the order that the shortcuts appear. If you want to group buttons together on the Quick Access toolbar, you can add vertical separators. To do this, select the tool for which you want to appear above the separator. We've selected Save.
