Automating Database Processing Chapter 6 Automating Database Processing Use the quote as a jumping off point for discussion, if desired.

Design and implement user-friendly menu Macros Chapter Introduction Design and implement user-friendly menu Called navigation form Macros Automate repetitive tasks Add functionality to reports and forms

Understanding Navigation Forms Special kind of form Appears when database opened Makes database navigation similar to a web site Main navigation form and subform control automatically built in

Understanding Navigation Forms (cont’d.) Can add buttons to main navigation form to work with Tables Forms Queries Reports Drag and drop object to form and create tab Selecting tab allows instant view of the objects Appear in hierarchical format

Create lower level forms before creating the higher level forms

Designing and Creating Navigation Forms Main navigation form serves as menu for users when database is opened Create lower level of the hierarchy first Create tabs by drag and drop of object onto form Click Navigation button in Forms group of CREATE tab Select tab layout Change title and change format, if necessary Drag forms from Navigation Pane to the [Add New] tab Use Layout view and Form Selector button to change form location or size Repeat until all needed forms are on the navigation form

Creating Navigation Forms (cont’d.) Preview all forms in Form View Test to ensure working correctly Create forms for reports as created for forms Preview and test all tabs to ensure working correctly Create main form to provide easy navigation through database Last item on main form should be a button to close the database

Navigation Form Layout Options

Example Navigation Form Design When using a navigation form, it's a good idea to set database options that restrict the Ribbon to specified options and to hide the Navigation pane preventing users from accessing commands they could use to change the database design.

Understanding Basic Macros Action or series of actions (Recall the Close Database button on the previous slide) Save time and ensure accuracy Automate repetitive tasks Composed of series of actions organized in sequence in which they should be performed Create macro Using Macro window

Create Access macro in Macro window Creating a Macro Create Access macro in Macro window Select the CREATE tab, and then click the Macro button in the Macro & Code group Action catalog Select features wanted Actions to be performed Click the Add New Action list arrow in the Macro Builder Scroll through list to action you want

Creating a Macro (cont’d.) Action arguments Provide additional information for performing macro action Arguments needed vary depending on selected action chosen Save macro with descriptive name, using mcr prefix
