Microsoft Access 97 Developer's Handbook is the book Access developers have been waiting for: a completely updated and revised Third Edition of the best-seller, with critical Internet coverage. Written by internationally recognized Access experts, this essential handbook combines several decades of cumulative experience in a single volume.
Reap the benefits of Internet-enabled Access 97. Give users easy access to the Web and Office programs by weaving hyperlinks into applications; create codeless, "light-weight" forms that load faster and allow for easier navigation throughout applications; publish live Access data on the Web using new IDC and ASP technologies; synchronize replicated tables over the Internet.
Create an elegant user interface. Control Office command bars in your applications; design interfaces that interact with the new Office Assistant; master controls, their properties and methods; and create consistent, user-aware applications for Windows 95 and Windows NT. You'll also find error-handling, debugging strategies, and OLE secrets.
Develop fast, user-friendly applications for multi-environments. Create robust Access 97 applications for both file-server and client-server environments; master new partical replication support; and build client/server applications that take advantage of blazingly fast ODBCDirect connections.
Interact with the outside world. Learn to use the Windows API, the undocumented functions exposed by MS-ACCESS.EXE, and Automation to communicate with other applications using Access 97.
You'll also find help with naming conventions and creating objects with class modules, enhanced multi-developer support including source code control integration, and techniques for performing advanced searches on a network using the new File-Search Object.
