Microsoft Access
MS Access is a highly flexible, robust, and reliable database program. Microsoft Access is the leading relational database management system in the world. We are a Microsoft Access developer company creating database applications for your business.
SQL Server

Alison Balter at MS Access Solutions developed the application that helps us to properly service all of our members. This program handles billing, payments, tracking of jobs worked, available list, and other important data about our members. The system automates many tasks that were previously performed manually, allowing our employees to more cost-effectively use their time.

Data Properties of a Form
The Data properties of a form are used to control the source for the form's data, the actions the user can take on the data in the form, and the way the data in the form is locked in a multiuser environment.
- Record Source: Indicates the Table, Stored Query, or SQL statement on which the form's records are based. After you have selected a record source for a form, the controls on the form can be bound to the fields in the record source.
- Recordset Type: Gives you three options: Dynaset, Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates), and Snapshot. Each offers different performance and updating capability. The Dynaset option creates a fully updateable recordset. The only exceptions to this rule involve records or fields that can't be updated for some other reason. An example is a form based on a query involving a one-to many relationship. The join field on the one side of the relationship can be updated only if the Cascade Update Related Records feature has been enabled. The Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates) option allows all tables and bound data to be edited. This might result in inconsistent updating of data in the tables involved in the query. The Snapshot option doesn't allow updating.
- Fetch Defaults: Allows you to specify whether defaults for bound fields underlying the form are retrieved when new records are added. When this property, introduced in Access 2002, is set to No, default values are not retrieved. When it is set to Yes, default values are retrieved.
- Filter: Allows you to automatically load a stored filter along with the form. I prefer to base a form on a query that limits the data displayed on the form. The query can be passed parameters at runtime to customize exactly what data is displayed.
- Data Entry: Determines whether users can only add records within a form. Set this property to Yes if you don't want your users to view or modify existing records but want them to be able to add new records.
- Record Locks: Specifies the locking mechanism to be used for the data underlying the form's recordset.
Three options are available. These three locking options are covered in detail in Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Enterprise Development.
- The No Locks option is the least restrictive locking mechanism andprovides optimistic locking; that is, Access doesn't try to lock the record until the user moves off it. This option can lead to potential conflicts when two users simultaneously make changes to the same record.
- The All Records option locks all records underlying the form the entire time the form is open. This is the most restrictive option and should be used only when it's necessary for the form's user to make sure other users can view, but not modify, the form's underlying recordset.
- The Edited Record option locks a 4KB page of records as soon as a user starts editing the data in the form. This option provides pessimistic locking. Although it averts conflicts by prohibiting two users from modifying a record at the same time, it can lead to potential locking conflicts.
