Make managing your business a breeze with Microsoft Access 2007. This new version is easier to use than ever with its Fluent interface. Fluent is context sensitive so it only displays the commands that are relevant to the task you are performing at the time. There are pre-built solutions for common tasks and business cases. You can use them as is or customize them so they fit your business perfectly.
Access 2007 integrates seamlessly with other Office applications like Excel and Outlook. You can import contact information from Outlook, or distribute forms in outgoing email and collate the information when it returns. Once you paste in an Excel table Access will recognize fields and data types and build it into the database.
Once the information is collected and sorted you can easily build reports. Access 2007 can do much more than that. Now you can attach photos, documents and spreadsheets to your application. You can even attach them to individual records for easy reference. If your website is based on Windows SharePoint Services you can built, edit and publish your applications online from multiple offices.
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.
