Query Properties: Changing the Behavior of the Overall Query

Microsoft Access offers many properties, shown in Figure 4.35, that allow you to affect the behavior of the overall query. Some of the properties are discussed here; the rest are covered as applicable throughout this book.

The Description Property

The Description property documents what the query does. The Default View property was introduced with Access 2002. This property determines which view will display by default whenever the query is run. Datasheet is the default setting; PivotTable or PivotChart are the other two Default View settings that are available. Output All Fields shows all the fields in the query results, regardless of the contents of the Show check box in each field. Top Values lets you specify the top x number or x percent of values in the query result. The Unique Values and Unique Records properties are used to determine whether only unique values or unique records are displayed in the query's output. (These properties are also covered in detail in Chapter 12.)

Other Microsoft Access Properties

Several other more advanced properties exist. The Run Permissions property has to do with user-level security and is covered in Mastering Microsoft Office Access 2003. Source Database, Source Connect String, ODBC Timeout, and Max Records all have to do with client/server issues and are covered in Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Enterprise Development. The Record Locks property concerns multiuser issues and is also covered in Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Enterprise Development. The Recordset Type property determines whether updates can be made to the query output. By default, this is set to the Dynaset type, allowing updates to the underlying data. Filter displays a subset that you determine, rather than the full result of the query. Order By determines the sort order of the query.

The Orientation property determines whether the visual layout of the fields is left-to-right or right-to-left. The Subdatasheet Name property allows you to specify the name of the table or query that will appear as a subdatasheet within the current query. After you set the Subdatasheet Name property, the Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields properties designate the fields from the child and parent tables or queries that are used to link the current query to its subdatasheet. Finally, the Subdatasheet Height property sets the maximum height for a subdatasheet, and the Subdatasheet Expanded property determines whether the subdatasheet automatically appears in an expanded state.

Adding Smart Tags to Your Queries

You use smart tags to perform tasks that you would usually open other applications to perform. For example, you can use smart tags to schedule an appointment, email a letter, or add an Outlook contact, all based on data stored in an Access table or found in an Access query result. Taking things a step further, you can even determine the weather or get the latest news on each city that appears in the result of a Microsoft Access query

Using a Smart Tag

After you have added a smart tag to a query, you will notice smart tag action buttons when you run the query (see Figure 4.43). Click the action button for a particular cell in the query result to see the actions available for that smart tag. In Figure 4.44, you can see that the Person Name smart tag has the Schedule a Meeting and Show my Calendar menu items associated with it. Figure 4.45 shows the result of selecting the Schedule a Meeting menu item.
