What are the key differences between Access 2003 and 1997 from the point of view of someone who has just taken the introductory course (ie not concerned with macros)

RE: Access 2003 vs 1997

Hi Chris

Do you mean 2007?

The main difference between 2003 and 2007 Access is the way it appears on the screen and the fact that the commands are now on a ribbon.

The way tables, queries, forms and reports are built is the same. So once you get used to the appearance of 2007 and find where the buttons are on the ribbon you should have no problem.

You can dowload an Access 2003 to Access 2007 interactive command reference guide from Microsoft to help you find known commands on the new ribbon:

If you meant 1997 then there are some features in 2003 that didn't exist in 1997 but the general make up is pretty similar.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
