with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall4 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action A Macro is defined as –A series of actions grouped together –Actions grouped to automatically accomplish one or more tasks

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall5 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action A Standalone macro is stored under Macros in Navigation Pane An action is a self contained instruction –Can be combined with other actions –Automates tasks

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall6 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action Before creating a macro –Determine any required argument(s) Argument provides information to an action –Determine any condition specifications Conditions = Criteria to be met before macro execution

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall7 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action To display the Macro Designer –Click the Create tab –Click the Macro button in the Macros & Code Group Macro Designer used to build list of macro actions

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall8 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action Macro Designer

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall9 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action To display trusted macro actions list –In the Macro Designer, click Add New Action bar arrow

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall10 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action Select required action and make entries Save macro Navigation Pane shows new Macro group –Saved macro object listed under Macro group

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall11 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action Macro added to Macro group on Navigation Pane

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall12 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action To direct user’s focus in window –Pop-up window Contains menu of commands Must select command before proceeding –Modal window: Child (secondary) window Must be closed before using parent window

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall13 Create a Standalone Macro with One Action Modal and Pop up properties in Property Sheet

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall14 Add Multiple Actions to a Standalone Macro Macro can contain multiple actions Actions executed in specific order Best to use trusted macro actions Database location should be trusted

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall15 Create a Macro Group Macro group –Used to group related macros –Set of submacros grouped by common name –One macro object on Navigation Pane

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall16 Create a Macro Group Start macro group with –Name and description of macro’s purpose Submacro names –Distinguish individual macro from another –64 character macro name limitation –Include verb relating to macro’s action

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall17 Create a Macro Group Macro Designer

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall18 Create a Macro Group Some macro actions execute only if a condition is true –Expression Builder dialog box: Allows easier expression entry –The expression entered checks: Condition met or not met

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall19 Create a Macro Group Macro Designer’s Expression Builder easily creates condition checks

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall20 Create a Macro Group Macro Designer’s Expression Builder list boxes used to create expression

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall21 Associate a Macro with an Event An event is –Any action detected by a program or computer system Can associate an event and macro –Example An event = Clicking an Event button The result = Associated macro runs

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall22 Create an Embedded Macro Embedded macro stored in events properties of –Forms –Reports –Controls Not under Macros in Navigation Pane

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall23 Create an Embedded Macro Embedded macros easier to manage Copy, import, export objects with embedded macro(s) –Results in embedded macro(s) also being copied, imported, exported –Not so with standalone macros

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall24 Create an Embedded Macro [Embedded Macro] listed in Event property

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall25 Print Macro Details The Database Documenter creates –A report containing detailed information Information about objects in databases Example of database object; Macros –A paper record

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall26 Print Macro Details Documenter dialog box

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall27 Print Macro Details Print Macro Definition dialog box

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall28 Create a PivotTable from a Query PivotTables used to –Organize, arrange, analyze, and summarize data Done in a meaningful manner –Display trends and patterns For large amounts of data

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall29 Create a PivotTable from a Query PivotTables display –Rows categorized by different values –Multiple column categories –Multiple calculated values Can pivot or rotate table –Swaps row and column contents

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall30 Create a PivotTable from a Query PivotTable based on fields chosen by user

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall31 Create a PivotTable from a Query Can sum PivotTable rows and columns Can filter PivotTable rows and columns Can remove and add PivotTable fields

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall32 Create a PivotTable from a Query Sum function added to PivotTable

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall33 Create a PivotTable from a Query PivotTable contents filtered

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall34 Create a PivotChart from a PivotTable PivotChart is a graphical view of PivotTable data Can create a PivotChart without a PivotTable –In this case, PivotTable automatically created

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall35 Create a PivotChart from a PivotTable PivotChart created from PivotTable: –PivotTable must contain calculated field

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall36 Covered Objectives Create a standalone macro with one action Add multiple actions to a standalone macro Create a macro group Associate a macro with an event Create an embedded macro

with Microsoft Access 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall37 Covered Objectives Print macro details Create a PivotTable from a query Create a PivotChart from a PivotTable
