MOS1.4. Access Advanced (English)

This course contains many images of user interface elements that you’ll work with while performing tasks in Access on a Windows computer. Depending on your screen resolution or program window width, the Access ribbon on your screen might look different from that shown in this book. (If you turn on Touch mode, the ribbon displays significantly fewer commands than in Mouse mode.) As a result, procedural instructions that involve the ribbon might require a little adaptation.

Simple procedural instructions use this format:

 On the Home tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click the Filter button.

If the command is in a list, our instructions use this format:

 On the Home tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Advanced Filter Options and then, in the Advanced Filter Options list, click Filter By Form.

If differences between your display settings and ours cause a button to appear differently on your screen from how it does in this book, you can easily adapt the steps to locate the command. First click the specified tab, and then locate the specified group. If a group has been collapsed into a group list or under a group button, click the list or button to display the group’s commands. If you can’t immediately identify the button you want, point to likely candidates to display their names in ScreenTips.

The instructions in this course assume that you’re interacting with on-screen elements on your computer by clicking (with a mouse, touchpad, or other hardware device). If you’re using a different method - for example, if your computer has a touchscreen interface and you’re tapping the screen (with your finger or a stylus) - substitute the applicable tapping action when you interact with a user interface element.

Instructions in this course refer to user interface elements that you click or tap on the screen as buttons, and to physical buttons that you press on a keyboard as keys, to conform to the standard terminology used in documentation for these products.
