Welcome Welcome! Partial Payments & Search Form Welcome to Microsoft Access Developer Level 8. In this course we will continue working on the order entry system partial payments feature, focusing on enhancements, security additions, and handling overpayments. We will discuss setting up default values, managing form permissions with code, and making the manager password a global public function. I will show you how to search your code for specific functions, and we will talk about building a search as you type form so users can filter lists of customers or companies in real time by entering text.

More InformationTranscriptWelcome to Microsoft Access Developer Level 8 brought to you by AccessLearningZone.com. I am your instructor, Richard Rost. Today's class is going to cover more with the partial payments that we have been working on in our order entry system in previous classes. We are also going to spend some time learning how to do a search as you type form. As you type in characters into a little search box, it filters a list of customers or companies or whatever you want to search for. This course follows Access Developer Level 7. Of course, I recommend that you complete all of my beginner, expert, and advanced classes and Developer 1 through 7 before taking this class. For those of you who have never taken any of my classes before, they are broken up into beginner, expert, advanced, and developer classes. Beginner is the basics. Well, basics - I say basics. It is fundamentals. Expert is for people who want to learn a little bit more. Advanced focuses mostly on events and macro programming, which is a good precursor to development. Developer is what you are taking now. This focuses on VBA and taking your databases to the next level. Every category is broken down into multiple levels. This is level 8. Each level is about an hour and a half long. You can find a copy of the database that I am working on in class at this webpage, 599CD.com/databases. Of course, I recommend that you build the database yourself. Following along from scratch from the beginning with me, you will get the most out of it. However, if you are lazy, like I can be lazy sometimes too, or if you have messed up somewhere along the way, you can always download mine right here. You will need your password that you got when you purchased this class in order to open up the database. This class is recorded using Microsoft Access 2016 from Office 365. Everything that I cover in today's class should work just fine in 2007, 2010, and 2013. Now let's take a look more closely at what is covered in today's class. In today's class, we are going to focus a lot on adding some enhancements and some modifications and some security additions to the partial payment system that we built in the last class. In lesson one, we are going to start by setting up some default values so our users do not have to keep typing in amounts due. We will deal with what happens when an order is paid and we will check for overpayments. In lesson two, we are continuing with our payment system modifications. We are going to talk about how to set your form with code to allow additions, edits, and deletions. We are going to take that manager pass, we are going to make it a global public function. I will show you how to globally search all of your code to make sure that you have covered all instances of something. In lesson three, we are going to build something that I get a lot of emails for. It is how to make a search as you type function. We have a list of customers and a text box we can search in, and as I enter characters, it filters that list down. We will also have it so we can search in multiple fields at the same time. So you are not sure whether it is the person's first name, last name, or their company name. Just typing in a few characters will break the list down and you can see all of the people with those particular criteria. IntroWelcome to Microsoft Access Developer Level 8.

SummaryToday's video from Access Learning Zone focuses on Microsoft Access Developer Level 8. I am your instructor, Richard Rost. In this course, we continue expanding the order entry system, picking up where Developer Level 7 left off. The topics in this session revolve around improving our partial payments feature and developing a form that filters results as you type. My Access classes are organized into four main tracks: beginner, expert, advanced, and developer. The beginner lessons cover the essentials, while expert introduces more detailed functionality. Advanced lessons dive into events and macro programming, providing an important foundation for developers. The developer track, which includes this course, builds on all of that and adds VBA programming to help you take your Access databases even further. Each of these tracks is split into multiple levels. Developer Level 8, for example, is about an hour and a half in length. You can download a copy of the database I'm working with during this class at 599CD.com/databases. However, I always encourage you to create the database yourself from scratch to get the most out of the learning process. Still, if you'd like to save time or if you run into any issues, you can download my file from the website as well. You will need the password that you received when you purchased the class to open the file. This particular course was recorded using Microsoft Access 2016 from Microsoft 365, but all of the techniques and features discussed here will work just as well in Access 2007, 2010, and 2013. Now let's look closely at what we will cover in this course. We'll spend a lot of time enhancing and modifying the partial payments system that we built previously. This includes adding some important security improvements. In the first lesson, we'll start by setting up default values for our forms so that users don't have to keep entering the amounts due. We'll also handle the situation where an order is paid in full and learn how to prevent overpayments. In lesson two, we'll continue improving the payments system. You'll learn how to use code to control whether your forms allow adding, editing, or deleting records. The manager password will be turned into a global public function, making it more accessible and easier to maintain throughout your project. I'll also show you how to perform a global code search, so you can make sure you've covered every instance of a particular item in your project. Lesson three is focused on something I get a lot of questions about: building a search-as-you-type form. We'll set up a list of customers and a search box that filters the list in real time as you enter text. I'll also show you how to search across multiple fields at the same time, so whether you're looking for a first name, last name, or company name, the form will quickly narrow down your results as you type. You can find a complete video tutorial with step-by-step instructions on everything discussed here on my website at the link below. Live long and prosper, my friends.
