Tabbed Windows Chapter 9: Tracking Information Quickly and Effectively with Office Access 2007 137 When you open tables, queries, reports, and forms by double-clicking them in the Navigation Pane, they open in the work area (see Figure 9-7). Each item you open becomes a tabbed window in the display. You can move among the different items by simply clicking the tabs. When you want to close a view, right-click a tab and choose Close. Figure 9-7 Tabbed windows enable you to display multiple elements and move among them easily. Making Design Changes Easily Whether you choose to create a database from scratch or customize one of the templates included with the program, you will need to add forms, tables, and more to make the database your own. The process of adding objects to your database is much easier in Office Access 2007. Click the Create tab to display options for adding tables, lists, forms, reports, queries, and macros (see Figure 9-8). Figure 9-8 Commands in the Create tab enable you to add items to your database easily.
138 Part II: Preparing and Producing Professional Results Three Things to Try in Office Access 2007 John L. Viescas and Jeff Conrad, authors of Microsoft Office Access 2007 Inside Out, offer the following three features as their favorites for you to try: 1. Explore the new Layout View in Access 2007 for fast, what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) report generation with the use of live data. 2. Try out the new Split Form View option to display part of a data entry form in Single Form View and another part in Datasheet mode. Twice the fun and half the trouble. 3. Make yourself the hero to the accountants and data entry staff with built-in alternating row color (also called the “Greenbar” effect) for forms and reports. All the things you ever wanted to be able to do in Access, but couldn't. Adding and Enhancing a Form Suppose that you want to add a data entry form to a Customers List. With the Customers List tab selected, click the Create tab and select one of the form commands (for example, click Form). The form is displayed in the work area in Layout View so that you can modify it as needed (see Figure 9-9). The Form Tools contextual command tabs are available, providing a set of tools you can use to customize the form to fit your needs. Figure 9-9 The new form is added in Layout View.
