Access is Microsoft's new Windows database which provides an object-oriented method for writing macros and creating database applications. For serious large-scale databases, users need to be familiar with Access' full programming language - Access BASIC. Access has facilities for importing dBASE, Paradox and other database files. Focusing on the insights and skills needed to get the most from Access, this book follows the "INSIDER" series format. Of particular importance are the chapters on database design, the critical early planning in order to build a database that will perform efficiently. Also given extensive treatment is the issue of porting records from existing databases without losing or scrambling data.
