Microsoft Access 2010 Programmer’s Reference
Guide to Online Files
When writing the book, the authors created numerous examples and code snippets to help you work through and understand the concepts that we are presenting. The database files, code snippets and other supporting files are available for download from the Wiley/Wrox website, at .
The files are organized and stored in separate folders designated for each chapter. We have listed the folders and contents below so that you can quickly navigate to the desired files. As you will see, some chapters do not have online material.
In order to get the full benefit of the book and to understand the code snippets and sample files, we strongly encourage you to use them in conjunction with their designated chapters. The book explains the concepts and how to use, modify, and incorporate the code and functions into your projects and solutions. The chapters also include recommendations and links to software downloads and other programs that will help you work with the files and examples.
We recommend unzipping this package either within your Documents folder under the folder Access Programmers Reference, or in whatever location you use for your project files.
File List and Folders are in the Folder AccessProgrammersReference
There are 23 folders in the download file. Each folder contains the databases, and other files that contain the code or were referenced in the chapter or appendix.
The following lists all the chapters and their associated folder and files along with a brief description topics and examples provided. We’ve also noted the chapters that do not have download files.
