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

SQL Server is an enterprise relational database management system from Microsoft. We use SQL Server as the database server for data storage and data retrieval to and from Microsoft Access as well as other software applications, like ASP.NET and Azure.

ASP.NET

Microsoft's application framework for web development produces dynamic web pages. ASP.NET provides web programmers with a platform for building dynamic web sites, web applications (web apps), and web services that require a web solution.

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.

Creating Fixed Column Headings

If you don't use fixed column headings, all the columns are included in the query output in alphabetical order. For example, if you include month names in the query result, they appear as Apr, Aug, Dec, Feb, and so on. By using fixed column headings, you tell Access the order in which each column appears in the query result. You can specify column headings by setting the query's Column Headings property.

NOTE

All fixed column headings must match the underlying data exactly; otherwise, information will be omitted inadvertently from the query result. For example, if the column heading for the month of June was accidentally entered as June and the data output by the format statement included data for the month of Jun, all June data would be omitted from the query output.

Important Notes About Crosstab Queries

Regardless of how crosstab queries are created, you should be aware of some special caveats when working with them:

1. You can select only one value and one column heading for a crosstab query, but you can select multiple row headings.

2. The results of a crosstab query can't be updated.

3. You can't define criteria on the Value field. If you do, you get the error message You can't specify criteria on the same field for which you enter a Value in the Crosstab row. If you must specify criteria for the Value field, you must first build another query that includes your selection criteria and base the crosstab query on the first query.

4. All parameters used in a crosstab query must be explicitly declared in the Query Parameters dialog box.

TIP

Pivot tables, introduced with Access 2002, have all the functionality of crosstab queries and then some! Consider replacing crosstab queries with Select queries stored in PivotTable view.
