We will be meeting at 12:00 Noon on
Saturday, September 9, with the North Texas Microsoft Developers SIGs (of the North
Texas PC User Group) at Microsoft’s Addison facility at 5080 Spectrum Drive,
Suite 115E, Dallas, TX 75248. We’ll be
meeting along with Beginning Visual Basic SIG, Advanced Visual Basic SIG, and
the newly renamed Application Developer Issues SIG (formerly ActiveX Application Developers).  
North Texas Microsoft Developer SIGs will meet on the second Saturday to avoid conflict with the date of NTPCUG’s other SIG meetings. Meeting times are:



09:00 AM -- Beginning Visual Basic

10:00 AM -- Advanced Visual Basic

11:00 AM -- Application Developer Issues

12:00 Noon -- Microsoft Access Database

You’ll find a schedule, be able to click-through to a zoomable map, get driving directions, and link to separate sites for each of the four SIGs. You must have script execution enabled in your browser.


Coming September 9, 2000: We will be taking a break from the more formal PowerPoint presentations for a couple of shorter demonstrations of Access applications. Assistant SIG Leader Tom Browning will demonstrate some Access 2000 class modules that he prepared. They post appointments to an Outlook 2000 schedule from an Access application. This promises to be a very interesting and informative demo, so don’t miss it.

Also in September, SIG Leader Larry Linson will fill in any remaining time showing a small application he prepared to help SIG Leaders do the very simple HTML markup required for these SIG Notes pages. The application inserts HTML tags, and, of course, also stores the Notes in an Access database. (Note to SIG Leaders: It should be complete by the September meeting and will be available then if you'd like to try it.)

In August 2000: Access SIG Leader Larry Linson followed up the multi-user discussion with a presentation on using Access as a Client Application. This presentation covered using Access .MDB or .MDE files, DAO, ODBC, and various server databases. Larry drew on his experience using Access as a client to Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Sybase SQL Server, and Sybase SQL Anywhere. Because it is a database development tool, and has unique data-related events and properties, Access is an excellent tool for developing client applications. 

We had another nice assortment of goodies in our August giveaway, something for each attendee who remained until the end of the Access SIG. Topping the list were two Microsoft games provided by our host, Greg Nicholson, of Microsoft’s local office. Others were courtesy of Microsoft User Group Support, the Microsoft Developer Network, and donations from members.

We definitely will have a drawing again in September. We have a few T-shirts, some MSDN Library CD sets, a package of CD-RW disks donated by member Lily Kadur, and some eclectic CD software collections put together by Larry (free ISP software, downloads from Microsoft, demonstrations, examples, and presentations that Larry has given). Maybe again we’ll have something for everyone! Come for the meeting! Stay for the drawing for valuable prizes! Just remember that value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Coming soon to the Access SIG:

Freeware Tools: Boost your productivity for free. Reviews of and references to tools generous developers have made available for download from the web. They'll assist you with your Access development, database administration, and maintenance. Expect a drawing for several copies of the tools we review and demonstrated.

Access Data Projects (ADP): ADPs use ADO to provide access via OLE DB or ADO Data Providers directly to Microsoft SQL Server. This eliminates the overhead of linking through Jet and translation by ODBC drivers. The drawbacks include no Access security on your application and no provision for local tables. 

Data Access Pages (DAP): This is the Access interface to databases for use on an Intranet where all the users will be using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. They could be used on a special web site, if desired, where all users were required to use IE 5.0+. The drawback here is that once the Forms are converted to DAPs, you can’t use VBA for your code but must use vbscript or javascript, so there's going to be a bit more learning curve for many of us.

Simple Web Interface: What’s the hot database topic these days? It’s Web interfaces to databases. One of the easiest tools for creating simple websites, Microsoft Front Page, can interact with Access (and also some server databases) to provide a user-friendly and inexpensive 'web database interface'. We will cover at least two approaches to using Front Page with Access. Why do I call it inexpensive? Street price is under $100, and it comes free with some editions of Microsoft Office 2000.


ActiveX Data Objects (ADO): ADO is Microsoft’s newest candidate for Access Method of the Future. We’ll take a look at where it is (not quite as complete as DAO just yet), where it pays to use ADO, where it pays to stick with DAO instead, and demonstration of ADO in Access.

 This space is reserved for your presentation. Won’t you volunteer to talk to us about something interesting that you've done or some interesting Access subject that you've learned?

Meeting Time and Place: The Microsoft Access SIG meets with other NTPCUG Microsoft Developer SIGs on the second Saturday of each month at Microsoft’s facility at the Spectrum Center, 5080 Spectrum Drive, Suite 115E, Addison. You can enter the under-the-building parking either from Spectrum Drive or from Belt Line about one-half block West of Dallas Parkway. Take the elevator to the ground floor (the East elevator is closest to the meeting room). If you need directions, ask the security guard where the 'Microsoft Pilot Program' is meeting.

Please Note: That’s the Second Saturday, so we can attend the rest of NTPCUG’s SIG meetings, too, on the Third Saturday, at Lake Highlands High School Freshman Center. Scheduled meeting dates are: September 9, October 14, November 11, and December 9, 2000. For schedule and a click-through map, visit the North Texas Microsoft Developer SIGs website at  >http://www.ntmsdevsigs.homestead.com.

Microsoft Access is, unarguably, the most widely distributed and installed desktop database software. Access is the database software component of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, included in the Professional, Premium, and Developer editions of Microsoft Office.  It is simple to use at the casual, novice level, the learning curve is not steep, and it can also be used as a very capable tool for developing professional and commercial database applications. In addition to Microsoft Access databases using the included Microsoft Jet database engine, Access can be used to create client applications for use with true server databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Informix. In its latest version, it can generate Data Access Pages for an Internet- or Intranet-based database application. Join us as we continue to learn more and more about this exciting software package.

The Access SIG was formed in April 1993, when more than forty interested members attended the organizational meeting. Because Access was so new, no one could claim any great expertise, so the focus of our group was to 'learn Access together'. Our only rule was, and is, 'No bashing. Not our favorite database software, not anyone else's favorite database software, not our vendor, not anyone else's vendor, and, particularly, not any individual.' That focus and rule have served us well over the intervening years. In a generally polite and civil atmosphere, we have learned more about Access than most of us dreamed at the start. We’re still learning and still maintaining civility. As we’ve learned, our presentation emphasis has shifted from the basics to more advanced topics, but we still welcome beginners, we try to answer beginner questions, and we do our best to make even the more advanced topics understandable to all levels of Access user.

Two Assistant SIG Leaders have been with the SIG ever since that day in April, 1993:  Jack Atkinson  and  Dianna DeCicco . Our other Assistant SIG Leaders are Tom Browning and Neel Cotten, both of whom have been attending the SIG regularly since our 1993 beginning. Thanks to all of them for working hard to make this SIG a success and thanks, also, to former Assistant SIG Leaders Frank McCoy and Tom Lukers, who served ably and long. SIG Leader Larry Linson has said that the willingness of Assistant SIG Leaders of ability and enthusiasm has been a major factor in the continued success of the Access SIG.

Service Releases from Microsoft: Visit Microsoft’s site, the Microsoft Dowload Catalog, for the final form of Service Release 2B for Access 97, a Service Pack and the Y2K patch for Access 2.0, and Service Release 1 for Office 2000. Look for Office Update downloads.

Access Resources: On the Internet, the Access 'meeting place' is the comp.databases.ms-access newsgroup. It’s like an enormous SIG meeting every day for questions and answers. Just like our SIG, there’s something for every level of Access user and very knowledgeable participants from all over the world. Some names you might recognize from books, articles, and conferences include Andy Baron, Allen Browne, Ken Getz, and Michael Kaplan, but there are a number of other very knowledgeable regulars who donate a great deal of time to providing answers. Visit the newsgroup and you’ll soon learn who they are. If I sound a bit proprietary about the newsgroup, maybe it’s because, representing a local BBS, I cast one of the affirmative votes for its founding in 1993 and have been participating there ever since it was established.

Strong Suggestion: Read before you post, and, especially, read the daily post with the subject line '!! New Users Look Here First FAQ...' and the date - it tells you about the netiquette, purpose, and topicality of the newsgroup. Particularly don’t post or respond to any employment solicitations - you’ll hear about it if you do. It also lists some websites that are chock-full of Access information. Just in case you don’t get to participate in the newsgroup, here's that list:

Available on the Web: Our own North Texas PC User Group Microsoft Access Database SIG now has a web presence: http://www.ntmsdevsigs.homestead.com. It’ll have SIG notes, a description of the SIG's purpose and direction, a list of SIG Leaders, and other meeting information. We may add a history of presentations, later, along with example code from SIG meetings. In the meanwhile, you’ll continue to find the 'Images in Access' examples now available for both Access 97 and Access 2000, and copies of Larry’s reviews of Programming Microsoft Access 2000, by Rick Dobson, and Designing Relational Database Systems, by Rebecca Riordan, to his website at http://homestead.deja.com/user.accdevel . Both reviews were originally published here in the North Texas PC NEWS. You must have script execution enabled in your browser to view the site and download the material. Look for additional samples and examples in the near future.

http://www.trigeminal.comhttp://www.trigeminal.com Michael Kaplan’s company, Trigeminal Systems’ site, with examples and soapbox

Job Seeker’s Sites: In any major search engine, search on 'jobs computers database' and you’ll find many, many sites. Some will, of course, be more useful to you than others. Three sites of note:  http://www.developerscoop.com is a site recently brought online by Abbot Cooper, a regular on the comp.databases.ms-access newsgroup, as a service to the developer community - there’s no fee either for job seekers or employers. http://www.wji.com has an area specializing in with a 'matching service application' to match employer’s needs with registered Access people’s skills -- free to potential employees or contractors, but there’s a fee for recruiters or employers. Another site, suggested to me by Rick Dobson, Access speaker and writer, is http://www.dmoz.org/computers/consultants/databases - it is free to both job seekers and those offering jobs.

Reviews of Selected Sites: Just as a sample, Larry re-visited a couple of the 'other source' sites. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/attac-cg/acgsoft.htm, the website of ATTAC Computer Group, has freeware files and code, including an article explaining a previously undocumented method to 'make class modules in library databases visible to other databases'. Steve Arbaugh of ATTAC is a frequent participant in the newsgroup. http://members.ricochet.net/~jfoster/ is the homepage of Joe Foster, who’s answered just about as many questions in the newsgroup as anyone. There are sample databases and example code for a number of common, and some not-so-common, tasks that one might want to accomplish with Access. (Joe recently told me he’s made some changes and added some information about Visual Basic, too.) Drop in at the newsgroup's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) site http://www.mvps.org/access - the new home of the 'Grandfather of Access FAQ Sites' and you’ll find, among many much more impressive entries, an article by Larry on using images in an Access database. Check out the extensive information at Allen Browne's http://www.wa.apana.org.au/~abrowne  website - it is great. Another new addition to our list is the Sydney Australia Access User Group, led by Adam Cogan (whose presentation was extremely well-received on the Office 2000 introductory tour in Australia, according to Allen Browne) at http://www.ssw.com.au/AccessUG.

As a bonus, when you enter most any of these sites, you’ll find a symbol for the Access webring - a webring is a group of sites linked together because of a common interest. You can move to the next site in the ring, skip a site or five, or move backward in the same way. Every site will be different, but all have a strong Access flavor. No, I can’t tell you how many sites are in that ring, because it only takes a point-and-click to add another site.

Past Presentations:

August 2000: Access SIG Leader Larry Linson followed up the multi-user discussion with a presentation on using Access as a Client Application. This presentation covered using Access .MDB or .MDE files, DAO, ODBC, and various server databases. Larry drew on his experience using Access as a client to Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Sybase SQL Server, and Sybase SQL Anywhere. Because it is a database development tool, and has unique data-related events and properties, Access is an excellent tool for developing client applications. 

July 2000: Access SIG Leader Larry Linson led a discussion on Access in a Multiuser Environment. We talked about tips, hints, considerations, and caveats for using Access with multiple users. Larry quoted reliable reports of as many as 150 concurrent users, though he certainly doesn’t advise that you plan an Access application for that many. One topic of particular interest was 'Corruption and How to Avoid It' -- the identified cause is most often a case of 'ungraceful termination'.

June 2000: Application Developer Issues SIG Leader Dan Ogden, Esq. reviewed his recent experiences using Access 2000. He said that he had found a lot to like and cautioned of a few things he didn’t like very much. All in all, Dan’s pleased with Access 2000, and he’s convinced some of the rest of us to spend a little more time with it. Note: Now that Service Release 1 has corrected quite a number of 'issues', I think he will like it even more.

May 2000: Perennial favorite and Assistant SIG Leader Jack Atkinson was our presenter. When Jack says he’s
going to “fill in some blanks”, that means he has a whole bag full of tips, hints, and tricks for rapid and efficient application
development. Jack showed us an extensive set of functions for validating and manipulating legacy or imported data of the most common types. Many of us have experienced similar problems and wished we had some canned procedures of this type -- now we do, because Jack provided a handout showing the code he explained and demonstrated. 

Local Sister Organization: The Metroplex Access Developers (MAD) is a user group of developers, some independent, some contractors, some employees, and some just developing Access applications for their personal use. The group is not associated with the NTPCUG, but there is a great deal of overlap in our membership. MAD meets every second Tuesday *, currently meeting at the offices of Bravo Technical Resources at 5550 LBJ Freeway, Suite 420. That’s the Southwest corner of LBJ and Montfort - the building name is Auto One. If you are coming from the West, exit at the Dallas Parkway/Tollway exit, stay in the middle lane and stay on the LBJ service road. Meetings begin at 6:00PM for networking, light supper, and socializing, and continue at 7:00PM or thereabouts with a business meeting and presentation on a topic of interest. The MAD website is currently unavailable. If you are definitely going to attend, please drop a note by e-mail, a couple of days in advance, to dbean@misresource.com.

* A one-time exception: in September, the Metroplex Access Developers meeting date has been changed to the First Tuesday , September 5, for a special presentation by Luke Chung, President of FMS, Inc., makers of the most popular line of Access add-ins and utility software.


HTMLText:
Just a little text can go a long way. We would bold-face the name of a speaker like Jack Atkinson, italicize the name of his presentation, like Uncommon Queries, underline something for emphasis. 
At the end of a previous one, we can create a new paragraph or we can simply break at the end of a line. 

The text following will continue.


HTMLBrief:
This one's for demonstrating the markup.

You’ll find a schedule, be able to click-through to a zoomable map, get driving directions, and link to separate sites for each of the four SIGs. You must have script execution enabled in your browser.


Coming November 11, 2000:  Assistant SIG Leader Tom Browning will demonstrate two features: interoperability with other applications by posting appointments to an Outlook 2000 schedule from an Access application, and the value of using class modules for easily usable/reusable code. As you might guess, he used Access 2000 class modules to provide the functions for interoperability. This promises to be a very interesting and informative demo, so don’t miss it. (Note: this presentation was originally scheduled for September but Tom graciously agreed to defer twice to allow longer presentations to fill both the Application Developer Issues and Access timeslots.)

In October 2000: We were privileged to have an outstanding guest speaker, Adam Cogan, of Superior Software, Sydney, Australia, and President of the Sydney SQL Server, Visual Basic, Access, and Active Server Pages User Group.  Adam was in our area for the Microsoft Exchange Server conference and graciously agreed to speak at our meeting. He gave an excellent and informative two-hour presentation on XML in the Application Developer Issues and Access time periods, and, then a brief demonstration of an Access performance add-in while we conducted our giveaway drawing. Adam's PowerPoint presentation can be obtained from the Download Page of our  Application Developer Issues website . Additional information and dowloads are available from  Superior Software.

We had another nice assortment of goodies in our October giveaway: a copy of the CD set that was given out at Developer Days for everyone who attended any meeting during the day, and a drawing for more prizes, something for almost everyone who remained until the end of the Access SIG. Topping the list were two Microsoft software packages provided by our host, Greg Nicholson, of Microsoft’s local office. Others were courtesy of Microsoft User Group Support, the Microsoft Developer Network, and donations from members.

We definitely will have a drawing again in November.  If you didn't get your Developer Days CD set last month, we have one for you. There'll be a drawing for other valuable prizes, too, at the end of the Access meeting.Come for the meeting! Stay for the drawing for valuable prizes! Just remember that value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Coming soon to the Access SIG:

A simple HTML editor:  this small application is for very simple HTML markup similar to that required for these SIG Notes pages. The application inserts HTML tags, and, of course, also stores the Notes in an Access database. It is far from "commercial quality", but does show some interesting features, and some shortcomings of Access as a development tool for "editors".

Freeware Tools: Boost your productivity for free. Reviews of and references to tools generous developers have made available for download from the web. They'll assist you with your Access development, database administration, and maintenance. Expect a drawing for several copies of the tools we review and demonstrated.

Access Data Projects (ADP): ADPs use ADO to provide access via OLE DB or ADO Data Providers directly to Microsoft SQL Server. This eliminates the overhead of linking through Jet and translation by ODBC drivers. The drawbacks include no Access security on your application and no provision for local tables. 

Data Access Pages (DAP): This is the Access interface to databases for use on an Intranet where all the users will be using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. They could be used on a special web site, if desired, where all users were required to use IE 5.0+. The drawback here is that once the Forms are converted to DAPs, you can’t use VBA for your code but must use vbscript or javascript, so there's going to be a bit more learning curve for many of us.

One of the easiest tools for creating simple websites, Microsoft Front Page, can interact with Access (and also some server databases) to provide a user-friendly and inexpensive 'web database interface'. We will cover at least two approaches to using Front Page with Access. Why do I call it inexpensive? Street price is under $100, and it comes free with some editions of Microsoft Office 2000.

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO): ADO is Microsoft’s newest candidate for Access Method of the Future. We’ll take a look at where it is (not quite as complete as DAO just yet), where it pays to use ADO, where it pays to stick with DAO instead, and demonstration of ADO in Access.

 This space is reserved for your presentation. Won’t you volunteer to talk to us about something interesting that you've done or some interesting Access subject that you've learned.

Coming December 9, 2000: SIG Leader Larry Linson will talk about some unobvious  lessons he learned while working on A Simple HTML Editor in Access to prepare these SIG notes. Time permitting, he will also talk about a "finishing touch" that many of us often omit from our Access applications -- Custom Menus and we will try to squeeze in a brief Questions and Answers period, too. 

In November 2000: Assistant SIG Leader Tom Browning demonstrated two features: interoperability with other applications by posting appointments to an Outlook 2000 schedule from an Access application, and the value of using class modules for easily usable/reusable code. As you might guess, he used Access 2000 class modules to provide the functions for interoperability. Tom showed three methods of using COM automation to interact with Outlook -- a Function in a Standard Module, that Function with parameters as the single Method of a Class, and then a Class with Properties and Methods, as we are accustomed to using object. (Note: this presentation was originally scheduled for September but Tom graciously agreed to defer twice to allow longer presentations to fill both the Application Developer Issues and Access timeslots.) Tom’s code can be obtained from the Download Page of our  Application Developer Issues website . 

We had another nice assortment of goodies in our November giveaway: a copy of the CD set that was given out at Microsoft Developer Days for everyone who didn't get their copy last month, a copy of the Microsoft Partner .NET Readiness Package for everyone, and a drawing for more prizes, something for almost everyone who remained until the end of the Access SIG.
