Datasheet

Just what can you do with these add-on tools? Here’s a sampling:
 Document the various objects in your Access database so that you can
easily maintain and correct the database.
 Compare Access databases to see how they differ. You’ll find this
opportunity invaluable for databases that were created by multiple
people on multiple computers.
 Repair database corruption so that you can recover from the problems
that always seem to occur just before you plan on doing your backup.
 Locate and correct problems that slow down your database.
 Create better forms using options that you can automatically add to the
forms without a bunch of programming.
 Turn existing paper forms into electronic ones that you can use to
enter data into an Access database without having to learn a whole new
way of working.
 Share Access reports with someone who doesn’t have Access installed
on his or her PC.
 Send Access data to a PowerPoint slideshow.
I’m certain that at least one of these possibilities has you interested. I’m sure
you’ll find Chapter 20 to be very useful.
