The Creation of a One Form Application

M. L. "Sco" Scofield

This presentation will be a complete look at a mini, one-form application starting with the original concept and taking it all the way through turning it into an Access add-in so that it is always available. What's the application? It's a designer utility that sends the basic information about all of the table designs in a database to an Excel workbook.

This presentation will be an advanced presentation with lots of VBA code. You will see how to extract table information using DAO, how to control Excel using Automation, and how to make a user interface to control the application and provide user information. The presentation will wrap up with a few techniques to put the final "polish" on the application and what it takes to turn a project like this into an Access add-in.

Come spend an informative and entertaining evening with our resident MVP and current Vice President!
