Using Wizards to Develop Applications
If you're a typical user, you probably rely heavily on
wizards to create forms and reports. You can also use them for
applications development--wizards aren't just for creating objects.
Whether you're a developer or a beginner, you should at least take a look
at these wizards:
- Database Wizard: Lets you choose from several
completed business and personal databases.
- Import Text Wizard: Walks you through the process of
importing foreign data into an Access table.
- Command Button Wizard: Offers many predefined button
tasks.
- Combo Box Wizard: Helps you display items in a combo
box.
- List Box Wizard: Helps you display items in a list
box.
- Option Group Wizard: Similar to the Combo Box Wizard,
except you're working with an option group.
- Database Splitter: Splits your database into a
front-end/back-end database. This wizard is new to Access 2000. The
feature was available in earlier versions as an add-in.
All of these wizards can help you get your work done
faster. If you're not that familiar with VBA, they may even help you learn
more about developing Access with VBA. Of course, you can do all the work
the wizard does yourself, but why would you want to? Take advantage of all
of Access's tools--including these wizards.
