Hi guys,


I'm wondering why there are so many Excel examples from profesionals on the web around, but I cannot any for Access. Please, can somebody paste links here with Access examples, so I can learn high level tips & tricks of?
 
Good day wintermute


Pulled these of from a Google search, many many more.

Thanks bobhc,


but anyway, those were just trainings, you're right, there are plenty of them around. I'm looking for real profesional-like Access solutions made, such as Chandoo's dashboards in Excel. I've learnt a lot from those Excel solutions, that's why I'm looking for similarities in Access.


Thanks for comprehension

Don't give there is a rumor that Chandoo is to start an Access site/forum this year. If it attracts the same caliber of users as this site then you should find what you want
 
Hi, wintermute!


As I remember having written once (and I'd bet that was answering the same question originally posted by b(ut)ob(ut)hc many months ago) I'm afraid that there're no awesome-alike (Chandoo's dixit, without copyright, in fact with full copyleft) Access sites as this one of Excel.

PS: yes, it was as I remember it.

There is a big difference between Access and Excel in the front end, there are many things that you can do in Excel to enhance what the user/viewer sees charts,list,tables pivots and much more. With Access it is limited, it is a relational data base, can hold more data than an excel file but is limited in the front end, forms,query's and not much more, tables are not shown to users input and output via form, tables update from form and query's, there are not many flashing lights as there are with excel.
 
bobhc,


ok, now I know what you mean. I've expected that with Access we can do incredibles as well as with Excel. Now I see it's just normal applicatiion. Simultaneously it empowers my thoughts that Excel is superterrestrial.
 
Hi, wintermute!

I wouldn't say that Excel let you do incredible things and Access is just a normal application. It's like saying that an awl is incredible because a goldsmith uses it to sculpt jewels, but a 406 mm canyon in triple turrets are just mere hole makers.

I'd say that most goldsmiths use Excel and most miners use Access (I'm slightly smiling thinking on a miner digging into depths with an awl): Excel is most final-user friendly and Access is more developer friendly. And indeed they both have different scopes.

Regards!
