Long description
The latest release of the Microsoft Office family of applications comes with many bells and whistles. Access continues to be the world's most popular database. With the increasing volume of information, knowing how to design and program databases is becoming more and more important. With most users having mastered the use of Access databases, this book is designed to take them to the next step -- programming. "Access 2003 Programming by Example with VBA, ASP and XML" takes non-programmers through detailed steps of creating Access databases from scratch and then to retrieve and manage their data using various programming languages and techniques. With this book at hand, users can quickly build the toolset required for developing their own database solutions. This book proves that programming Access databases and controlling it with various types of programming code can be as easy as working with the built-in user interface. The book offers more hands-on and custom projects than any other book ever published on Access programming. It consists of six parts that cover an introduction to VBA programming, using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), Data Definition Language (DDL), event programming, Active Server Pages (ASP), and Extensible Markup Language (XML). The downloadable companion files include all the book's projects as well as a PDF file that covers creating and manipulating databases using Data Access Objects (DAO), an older data access technology that Access still uses.
