We waited more than five years for Vista. As you may recall, Windows XP was released with much fanfare in October 2001. But instead of the next Windows version shipping in just a couple of years, as originally expected, Microsoft lost its way in the development process. Vista didn’t make it to consumers until early 2007.

Go beyond Microsoft’s Help guide and discover the true secrets of Windows Vista that are essential to power users. Written by two of the most recognized Windows authorities, this resource provides you with numerous tips, tricks, and undocumented features that aren’t available anywhere else. You’ll find extensive screenshots, tables, and illustrations that clearly show how to achieve optimal performance, fix desktop problems, and take advantage of the robust features of Windows Vista.

This book is a record of my in-depth exploration of several prerelease versions of Windows Vista, Microsoft’s next major operating system (OS) and the successor to Windows XP. Don’t have Windows Vista yet? That’s not a problem because this is not a “how-to” book. Instead, it’s more of a “what-is” book. That is, Windows Vista Unveiled takes you on a detailed tour of all the new and improved technologies, features, tools, and programs that the Microsoft programmers have stitched into the Vista fabric.

You’ll learn not only what features are new in Vista, but also why they’re important (or not), who they were designed for, and how they will affect your computing life. My goal is to give you an exhaustive sneak preview of Vista’s innovations and changes so that by the end of the book you know whether Vista is for you and what to expect when you sit down in front of this new OS.

All writers write with an audience in mind. Actually, I’m not sure whether that’s true for novelists and poets and the like, but it should be true for any technical writer who wants to create a useful and comprehensible book. Here are the members of my own imagined audience:
- IT professionals
- Developers
- Power users
- Business users
- Road warriors
- Small business owners
- Multimedia users
- Gamers

Expert One-on-One Microsoft Access Application Development (with source code)

If you are developing databases for your own use, you may not mind opening forms or printing reports directly from the database window, and you know what query to run before printing which report or exporting data to Word. However, if you are planning to create applications for the use of others, particularly for clients who aren’t familiar with Access, and don’t understand databases in general, you have to do a lot more work, mostly in the form of writing VBA code to automate the application’s processes.

As a rule of thumb, it’s generally true that the easier the application is for the end user, the harder (and more time-consuming) it is to develop. In this book I concentrate on teaching you how to set up your tables and relationships to ensure that the database is properly normalized, and write VBA code to create the connective tissue that turns a bunch of tables, queries, forms and reports into a complete and coherent application.

This book is for experienced Access users who are familiar with creating Access objects and writing VBA code, but who need help transitioning from competent users/programmers to full-fledged Access developers.

The book is divided into three parts, each centered around a separate case application. The first shows best methods for building a relatively simple Access application using the developer’s own data. The next section shows how to build a distributed application serving multiple clients and types of data. The chapters in this section cover each step in the application lifecycle — from gathering application requirements from clients to migrating data from legacy systems to the new Access database system.

The last section of the book shows how to build Access applications that work with other Office applications, inlcuding Word, Excel, and Outlook, as well as non-Office applications. These integration issues cover some of the thorniest problems an Access developer will face. Feddema’s years of experience as an author, consultant, and trainer ensure that she can provide highly original solutions and workarounds.
