Get started building powerful database applications. See how to quickly and easily build Access forms and reports using built-in Wizards. We'll develop a comprehensive contact management application in just two and a half hours. INTERMEDIATE ACCESS ***************************************************************** Intro. To VBA, Part 1 of 5 - The Development Environment -- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc. Only the most modest of Access applications can be developed without the use of any code. Dean begins a five-part, hands-on series teaching Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming in Access. These sessions are designed as a fast-track for the novice Access user. The focus will be on practical information and usage. This month Dean will explore the Access Integrated Development Environment (IDE). A laptop computer (not supplied) is needed to participate, but all are welcome to attend. ***************************************************************** Access Trauma Center -- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates We'll spend three hours helping to debug, add enhancements, or make design recommendations. The audience is encouraged to bring in real world developer problems that need solving now. Bring your applications on floppy, CD, or Zip Disk. ACCESS DEVELOPER ***************************************************************** General Announcements and Forum -- 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates Share information regarding upcoming events, Access bugs, add-on products, and anything else that affects the world of the Access developer. ***************************************************************** Working With Files In Access (postponed from August meeting) -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates Even though our Access *.mdb files seem to do it all, every so often we need to do some file manipulation in our applications. In this session, we will look at file handling procedures available in VBA as well as Windows API’s that are available to us to do more. Some of the code methods we will look at: reading and writing text files, copying files, compacting other Access databases... and more. ***************************************************************** Talk To Other Access Databases -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates All of us use linked tables to access data in other databases, but what about using objects in other Access databases? In this session we will look at a number of techniques available to us for accessing data and using other database objects (forms, reports, code modules) from our application. Next Month's Topics...
