6 key considerations when creating Access 2007 databases
In this article: 1. Creating a database from a template 2. Migrating a database from a previous version of Access 3. Importing information from other sources 4. Controlling the features available to database users 5. Assigning a password to a database 6. Securing a database for distribution Creating the structure for a database is easy.

As you add queries, forms, and reports, it becomes easier to use. If you customize it with a switchboard or custom categories and groups, it moves into the realm of being a database application. This article discusses six key things you should consider when creating a database application by using Microsoft Office Access 2007.

Customize the Ribbon in Microsoft Access 2007
The Ribbon is a new element of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. It's new in Microsoft Office 2007 and is a strip across the top of the program containing the commands. It replaced the old menu in the earlier versions of Microsoft Office. As you work with Access 2007 and begin to build applications that are more advanced, you might want to start customizing the ribbon in order to make your work easier. You can hide some commands, create new tabs containing only the commands you want to use. In Microsoft Office Access 2007, the ribbon can be customized by creating customization XML and then adding code or setting database properties that instruct Access to use that XML when it creates the Ribbon. XML can be used to hide or create new tabs, commands or command groups. This tutorial shows the user how to add commands that are built-in to Access (i.e.: Find, Sort, Save) and how to add commands that run Access macros that the users wrote themselves.

Design great looking forms using Access 2007
After you have used Microsoft Office Access 2007 to create forms and reports to display your table and query data, you can change the appearance of any control on the form or report. You can change the appearance of individual elements in your Office Access 2007 objects, but an easier way to change the format of an entire form or report at once is to use an AutoFormat that is included with Access. You can use an AutoFormat as it is out of the box, or you can choose to apply certain parts of the AutoFormat. If you want, you can even create and modify your own AutoFormats so you can make the appearance of your forms and reports consistent. Another useful Access capability is to create a conditional format, which changes the appearance of the data in a text box based on the data's value. If a customer hasn't placed an order in the last year, a product has been discontinued, or a shipment took more than a week to arrive, you can use conditional formats to highlight that data and bring it to your attention quickly.
