Amazon.com: With its improved interface and interactive design capabilities that do not require extensive database knowledge, Microsoft Office Access 2007 helps you track and report information with ease. This all-in-one, out-of-the-box database solution helps workers track information quickly, create meaningful reports with ease, and share data more securely using the Web. This version upgrade of Access 2007 is available to those who currently run the following applications on their PCs: Microsoft Access 2000-2002; Microsoft Office Access 2003; Microsoft Works 6.0-10; Microsoft Works Suite 2000-2006 or later; any 2000-2007 Microsoft Office suite; any Microsoft Office XP suite.
Office Access 2007 provides a library of prebuilt database solutions to get you started quickly.
Office Access 2007 has made it easier to filter data, bringing clarity to business questions.
Collect information from others by e-mail with InfoPath (or HTML) forms generated by Office Access 2007.
Moving your Office Access 2007 application to Windows SharePoint Services enables browser access to information.
Editing forms in interactive design mode is a true WYSIWIG experience.
Office Access 2007 provides a completely redesigned user interface and close integration with Outlook contacts.
Office Access 2007 has been updated with a fresh look so that you can easily create, modify, and work with database solutions.
Results-Oriented Interface Access 2007 has been updated with a fresh look that makes it easier to create, modify, and work with tracking applications. The new results-oriented user interface (UI) is context-sensitive and optimized for efficiency and flexibility. The main window has a tabbed work area where all open objects reside, helping to keep the development area clean and tidy. Additionally, there are no windows hidden under other windows, so it's much easier to keep track of open documents and applications. To make things even simpler, from the nearly 1,000 available commands, the new UI displays only those relevant to the task you are performing at any given moment. And the new status bar, scroll bars, and title bar give applications built on Access 2007 a very modern look.
Pre-built Applications to Better Manage Information Featuring pre-built applications that you can modify or adapt to suit changing business needs, Access 2007 gives you the option of collecting information through forms in e-mail or importing data from external applications. You can also create and edit detailed reports that display sorted, filtered, and grouped information in a way that helps you make better sense of the data for informed decision-making.
Getting Started Screen The new Getting Started screen includes a variety of pre-built database solutions that you can use right out of the box to track contacts, events, issues, assets, tasks, and more--or treat them like templates, and enhance and refine them to accommodate the kind of information you want to track or the way in which you want to track it. As other application templates become available from Microsoft Office Online, they will be advertised in the Getting Started screen so you'll always be up to date on new technology that can help your business run more smoothly.
Quickly Create Tables Access 2007 features a new Navigation Pane which provides a comprehensive view of tables, forms, queries, and reports. You can even create custom groups to organize and see all the forms and reports related to a single table. In addition, Access 2007 makes it easier to work directly within a datasheet to create and customize tables. Enter information into a data cell--just as you would do in Microsoft Office Excel--and if it's a new value, Access 2007 automatically adds a new field and detects the data type (for example, date, number, or text). You can even paste Excel tables into a new datasheet, and Access 2007 will build all the fields and recognize the data types automatically. To help save you even more time, design and modify the form layout in real time on the screen, and preview your form as you build it. And for professional-looking results, Access 2007 provides rich text support for data stored in tables, so you can bold and italicize key data with ease.
Editing reports in Office Access 2007 offers easy grouping and editing with interactive design mode.
Filter and Sort Data Access 2007 makes it easier to filter data, bringing clarity to business questions. Different filter options are available for text, numbers, and date data types. For example, new filtering options make it easy to filter a date column for all records in Today, Yesterday, Last Week, Next Month, Future, Past, and so on. For added convenience, the filtering experience is consistent between Excel 2007 and Access 2007 so that you don't need to learn a new way to find the information you need.
Work With Multi-Value Fields Access 2007 supports complex data types, which means you can create columns that accept more than one value in a cell. For example, if you assign a task to more than one person, you can include both names in the cell. Windows SharePoint Services technology is compatible with these complex data types to help ensure data symmetry between the local and Web-based data stores.
Attach Documents and Files to Your Database Your applications can hold information that is more interesting and helpful than ever before. You can attach multiple files--such as photos, documents, or spreadsheets--to individual records within the data store for easy reference. If the file isn't a compressed format, Access 2007 automatically compresses it for you, saving hard disk space. When it comes to consolidating information, Access 2007 lets you import contact records from Outlook 2007.
Interactive Form and Report Design Access 2007 features an intuitive, user-friendly, what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) forms design interface. This means you can design and modify the form layout in real time on the screen and preview your form as you build it. With the WYSIWYG design interface, you'll be able to build forms very quickly, spending more time doing the work and less time on design and formatting issues. You can also manipulate the report layout directly while browsing the data in the report designer, so you don't need to run the report to see how it looks on the page. This makes it easier to create great-looking reports in much less time.
More Accessible Reports The new report browse mode makes reports more accessible. By using CTRL+F, you can find records, copy the data into other applications, and get to detailed records to edit the data. With the new filtering functionality, you can get clearer information on which to base decisions. To help keep things running smoothly, the improved Grouping Pane provides a clear display of data groupings so that you can preview changes as you are applying them to reports. You can easily add totals, subtotals, counts, and other elements that help you analyze the data. To help organize data, group the information in one or more layers and add subtotals.
Collecting and Sharing Information Access 2007 simplifies the process of collecting information from others by building the data collection form automatically in InfoPath 2007 or HTML in the body of the e-mail message. You can then send that form to recipients, using e-mail addresses from your Outlook contacts or from Access itself. Outlook 2007 processes the incoming forms and saves the data in your Access 2007 data store, effectively updating the data in your tracking application immediately, without any need for retyping.
Web Collaboration With Windows SharePoint Services By moving your Access 2007 files to a Windows SharePoint Services Web site, you can more readily share information, audit revision history, recover deleted information, set data access permissions, and back up your information at regular intervals. For instance, Web sites based on Windows SharePoint Services provide a place where your team can communicate, share documents, and work together on a project. With Access 2007, you can publish your Access files to libraries or move the application to Windows SharePoint Services, moving the data and front-end database to the server so that your team can interact with it easily through the browser. Forms and reports can then be viewed, updated, or deleted directly on the Windows SharePoint Services site according to the established permission settings.
Work Offline Using Access 2007, you can work with Windows SharePoint Services offline. If you're traveling, for example, you can maintain a local copy of a SharePoint list on your portable computer, where you can edit and query the list as though it were any other Access table. Moreover, forms and reports that use the SharePoint list are fully interactive--and Office Access 2007 can later synchronize the local list with the online list when you bring your portable computer back online.
Integration with Windows SharePoint Services Access 2007 authors can use business logic created with the workflow support in Windows SharePoint Services to build collaborative workgroup applications. Use this support to automatically assign tasks to other users, report on project status, and help ensure that tasks are completed on time. For added convenience, all Windows SharePoint Services tasks can be viewed inside Office Access 2007 or Outlook 2007, depending upon your work style. Windows SharePoint Services lists can even be accessed through mobile phones, so remote users can stay current on changing business information.
Manage and Audit Sensitive Information To make this software even safer and more consistent with other 2007 Office system programs, Access 2007 includes improved as well as new security features. Unified trust decisions are integrated with Office Trust Center, and trusted locations mean databases in security-enhanced folders. Conversely, you can load an Access application with code or macros disabled to help provide a safe experience. Or you can track records and see who created, edited, and deleted them. Whichever option you choose, you can rest assured that your data is safe.
Waste of MONEY!!! This product will not install....keeps asking for files that aren't there. A complete waste of money. So much for being able to upgrade from Access 2003 which I have a legal and registed copy of on my computer and should be able to upgrade with this product. What a scam!!! Don't waste your money!
Perfect. Exactly what I ordered. Installed easy and in no time over an existing Office 2007 installation.
Education Director, NJ State Golf Assoc. Foundation Having trouble loading data from 2002 version of Access to 2007. New version more complicated and not as easy to enter and retrieve data. Hopefully, I will eventually learn to navigate it.
The best buy I wasn't sure about buying access by itself, especially because this is an upgrade. It works with any office suite, MS Works and some other Microsoft software.
Microsoft Access 2007 Upgrade Microsoft has made quite a few changes under the hood in this version of Access. Access databases developed in previous versions don't always move forward to this version problem-free. We've had to change some existing Access/VB code to get all features working in some existing databases. While the menus and look & feel match the rest of Office 2007, they do represent a departure from previous version of Access, and take some getting used to!
