Appendix A

Toolbars

Overview

This overview is given on page 137 of the student textbook.

Microsoft Access has 20 predefined toolbars that provide access to commonly used commands. Twelve of the toolbars are tied to a specific view and are displayed automatically when you work in that view. These twelve toolbars are shown in Figure A.1 and are listed here for convenience: the Database, Relationships, Table Design, Table Datasheet, Query Design, Query Datasheet, Form Design, Form View, Report Design, Print Preview, Macro Design, and Visual Basic toolbars.

The remaining eight toolbars are shown in Figure A.2 in the textbook. The Toolbox, and Formatting (Form/Reports Design) toolbars are displayed by default in bothe the Form Design and Report Design views. The Formatting (Datasheet) toolbar is displayed by defualt in both the Table Datasheet and Query Datasheet views. The Web toolbar can be displayed (hidden) in any view at the discretion of the user. The Utility 1 and Utility 2 toolbars are used to create custom toolbars that can be used with any database and are initially balank. The Filter/ Sort tool bars and the Source Code Control toolbars are displayed at the discretion of the user.

The button on the the toolbars are intended to indicate their functions. Clicking the Print button, for example, (the fourth button from the left on the Database toolbar), executes trhe Print command. If you are unsure of the purpose of any toolbar button, point to it, and a ScreenTip will appear that displays its name.
