  Book Information

In a corporate setting, the Microsoft Office Suite is an
invaluable set of applications. One of Offices' biggest
advantages is that its applications can work together to
share information, produce reports, and so on. The problem
is, there isn't much documentation on their cross-usage.
Until now.

Introducing Integrating Excel and Access, the unique
reference that shows you how to combine the strengths of
Microsoft Excel with those of Microsoft Access. In
particular, the book explains how the powerful analysis
tools of Excel can work in concert with the structured
storage and more powerful querying of Access. The results
that these two applications can produce together are
virtually impossible to achieve with one program separately.

But the book isn't just limited to Excel and Access.
There's also a chapter on SQL Server, as well as one
dedicated to integrating with other Microsoft Office
applications. In no time, you'll discover how to:
Utilize the built in features of Access and Excel to access
data
Use VBA within Access or Excel to access data
Build connection strings using ADO and DAO
Automate Excel reports including formatting, functions, and
page setup
Write complex functions and queries with VBA
Write simple and advanced queries with the Access GUI
Produce pivot tables and charts with your data

With Integrating Excel and Access, you can crunch and
visualize data like never before. It's the ideal guide for
anyone who uses Microsoft Office to handle data.
