Access tables or when manipulating components of the Access interface from other Office applications./divDIVEach iteration of Windows has meant a corresponding improvement in the techniques used for transferring data among its applications. Today's leading technique is called Automation. It allows you to work directly with objects in an application's interface using their object models. But if you want to write code in a programming language, such as Visual Basic, in order to work with the
apps that support Automation, you must understand the inner workings of an application's object model--or in the case of
Microsoft's Access, its *two* object models.pMicrosoft Access is the bestselling stand-alone relational database program for Windows offering both power and ease of use. And in many respects,
Microsoft has made Automation the centerpiece of its vision for application development. DAO Object Model: The Definitive
Reference will guide you through the Access object models, allowing you, with the support of Automation, to
reference the application components you want to manipulate. An understanding of the object models is essential for developers who work with data in Access tables, or who want to manipulate components of the Access interface from other Office
apps. The Data Access Objects (DAO) model is used to write and read data in Access tables. The Access object model is used to manipulate forms, reports, queries, macros, and other components of the Access interface, including most of the commands by means of the DoCmd object.pThis book will include an introduction and a brief description of the differences between VBA (used in most Office applications) and VBScript (used in Outlook).
