Database Toolbox

Examples Using the Visual Query Builder

Many of the Visual Query Builder features are demonstrated in this book using simple examples. These examples use the dbtoolboxdemo data source (tutorial database). Instructions for setting up this data source are in Chapter 1, Installation and Setup.

If your version of Microsoft Access is different than that referred to in Installation and Setup, you might get different results than those presented here. If your results differ, check your version of Access and check the table and column names in your databases to see if they are the same as those used in the tutorial.

The examples used are:

• Starting and Quitting the Visual Query Builder.
• Building, Running, and Saving a Query.
• Viewing Query Results.
• Fine-Tuning Queries Using Advanced Query Options.

If your version of Microsoft Access is different than that referred to in Installation and Setup, you might get different results than those shown in the demo. If your results differ, check your version of Access and check the table and column names in your databases to see if they are the same as those used in the demo.
