Designer for Microsoft Access

   Product Features

Designer for Microsoft Access helps you create Microsoft Access databases that are correctly normalized, without understanding the principles of relational database design.  After walking through Designer's Q&A wizard, Designer creates your tables, fields, relationships, and basic data entry forms...allowing you to focus on customizing your forms to your liking and creating reports.

  Evaluation Full License
Create new tables with one-to-many and many-to-many relationships
Easily define field formats, sizes, and how they should be displayed to users
Designate specific fields as lookup fields, which automatically creates a separate table to store values, and adds a dropdown list to your tables and forms to display that options
 Automatically creates table relationships, primary, and foreign keys based on your answers during the Q&A wizard process
Creates Visual Basic code automatically to support "Not In List" events, where users can add new values to a dropdown box if the value doesn't already exist.  The new value is then added to the corresponding lookup table.
Create a new database to your specifications, or begin with one of several templates to build upon
