Microsoft Access 2013 Build User-Friendly Database Systems Chapter 7 Chapter Overview Query Based Forms AutoLookup Menu Systems – Switchboards, Blank Forms and Navigation Forms Macros – Autoexec, Help Button Query Based Forms Display data from multiple tables Display calculated fields Utilize AutoLookup Display sorted data AutoLookup Automatically “looks up” data based on a primary key Tables used in query must have a one-to-many relationship Join field in the query must be taken from the many side Forms and AutoLookup Example Switchboard Menu System Switchboard Wizard creates a user friendly menu that can link together all of your forms and reports in one place. Limit of 8 items per menu. Submenus can be added if 8 item limit is exceeded. The wizard creates a form called Switchboard and a table called Switchboard items. Do NOT delete or move the textboxes and buttons in the design of the Switchboard form. Page 74, Step 13 explains how to enable the Switchboard Manager in Access 2010 Blank Form Menu System Alternatively, a menu can be built from a blank form and command buttons.
