Orders.mdb and Solutions.mdb

The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases that are included with earlier versions of Microsoft Access were not included with Access 2000.

The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases for Access 2000 are now available

Orders   The Orders sample application is a sample order entry and invoicing system. Its features include the ShowEvents form, which helps you see the order in which events occur when you are working with forms and controls, and custom data filtering capabilities that you can use in addition to the filtering functionality provided by Access. The initial chapters of Microsoft Access 2000: Building Applications with Forms and Reports explain how to build the features shown in the sample application.

Developer Solutions   The Developer Solutions sample application contains examples of the forms, reports, and interface elements you most commonly use to create applications. From changing a form’s toolbars in response to events to creating a crosstab report with dynamic column headings, the objects in Developer Solutions illustrate the main areas of application design. This sample application also includes procedures that you might find useful as you develop your own applications—for example, you will find procedures that link tables at startup, close all objects when the user exits the application, and capitalize the first letter of every word in a field.

Picture in Database

By Candace Tripp (utter:angel) Access 2000 format

 

Demonstrates a method of displaying a picture/image file in a database/formwithout storing the image in a table.

Document Text stored in tables

This example shows how to use tables to store the all the parts of a document.  An  exmaple web be for  creating contracts.

This example also shows how to use cascading sub forms. This is where two sub forms on hte parent for are linked. The first sub form shows records related to the Parent form's current record.. The second sub fom (on the parent form) shows related records to the current record in the other sub form.

Spreadsheet-like Entry Data Form Demo **** Disclaimer ***

If you are new to database modeling or looking for a way to make Access act like Excel, this demo may not be for you. This demo represents a special case of data entry and is in no way a substitution for proper normalization, single form presentation among other things and in all probability will have limited use, if any, for several business models out there.

This database demonstrate how to create a entry form that provides a spreadsheet-like view and live form that can be updated real-time using a bound datasheet form. While this form uses checkboxes, there is no reason why it can't use textboxes or comboboxes, as long as this is a matrix of where each combination of a given row and a given column can only have exactly one value. In other words, no aggregating are actually done. This is useful for users who want to have a 'bird's eye view' and editing multiple records in a junction table representing a many-many relationship in a single form.

The demo is a class attendance record where it is assumed that new classes are created, and attendees registered for a given class are done in a separate forms (not included). The default form will display a selected class with attendees within the registration roster and dates specified for class meetings. All checkboxes are updateable, and new columns can be added for additional sessions. Attendee names are locked and the form will not allow additions, as per the assumptions.

Document Links

This is a basic example of how to store the path to  a file and also be able to view the file. You can browse using the standards windows common dialog to select the file. You can view the file using the application defined with the Windows File Associations. It uses the ShelExec API to open the file. It does not use the .Followhyperlink  method.

This example is a continuous form that could easily be used as a sub form to attach multiple documents to a record.
