Lesson 5: Getting Started with Access/en/access2013/introduction-to-objects/content/ IntroductionWhenever you're learning a new program, it's important to familiarize yourself with the program window and the tools within it. Working with Access is no different. Knowing your way around the Access environment will make learning and using Access much easier. In this lesson, you will familiarize yourself with the Access environment, including the Ribbon, Backstage view, Navigation pane, Document Tabs bar, and more. You will also learn how to navigate with a navigation form, if your database includes one. Throughout this tutorial, we will be using a sample database. If you would like to follow along, you'll need to download our Access 2013 sample database. You will need to have Access 2013 installed on your computer in order to open the example. Getting to know Access 2013Access 2013 uses the Ribbon to organize commands, just like in Access 2010 and 2007. If you've used these versions before, Access 2013 will feel familiar. But if you are new to Access or have more experience with older versions, you should first take some time to become familiar with the Access 2013 interface. Click the buttons in the interactive below to become familiar with the Access 2013 interface. Working with your Access environmentIf you've previously used Access 2010 or 2007, Access 2013 will feel familiar. It continues to use features like the Ribbon and the Quick Access toolbar—where you will find commands to perform common tasks in Access—as well as Backstage view. The RibbonAccess 2013 uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. You will use these tabs to perform the most common tasks in Access. The RibbonTo minimize and maximize the Ribbon:The Ribbon is designed to respond to your current task; however, you can choose to minimize the Ribbon if you find that it takes up too much screen space.
The Quick Access toolbarThe Quick Access toolbar, located above the Ribbon, lets you access common commands no matter which tab you are on. By default, it shows the Save, Undo, and Repeat commands. If you'd like, you can customize it by adding additional commands. The Quick Access toolbarNote that the Save command only saves the current open object. In addition, the Undo command will not undo certain actions, like adding a record. Pay close attention to your information when using the Undo command to make sure it has the desired effect. Backstage viewBackstage view gives you various options for saving, opening, and printing your database. To access Backstage view:
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about using Backstage view. The Navigation paneThe Navigation pane is a list containing every object in your database. For easier viewing, the objects are organized into groups by type. You can open, rename, and delete objects using the Navigation pane. The Navigation paneTo minimize and maximize the Navigation pane:The Navigation pane is designed to help you manage all of your objects; however, if you feel that it takes up too much of your screen space you can minimize it.
If you want to make the Navigation pane smaller without fully minimizing it, you can resize it. Simply click and drag the right border of the Navigation pane. When it is the desired size, release your mouse. Resizing the Navigation paneObject sorting in the Navigation paneBy default, objects are sorted by type, with tables in one group, forms in another, and so on. However, if you want you can sort the objects in the Navigation pane into groups of your choosing. There are four sort options:
To sort objects in the Navigation pane:
To further customize the appearance of the Navigation pane, you can minimize groups of objects you don't want to see. Simply click the upward double arrow next to the group name. To show a group, click the downward double arrow. Showing and hiding groups in the Navigation paneDatabases with navigation formsSome databases include a navigation form that opens automatically when the database is opened. Navigation forms are designed to be a user-friendly replacement for the Navigation pane. They contain tabs that allow you to view and work with common forms, queries, and reports. Having your frequently used objects available to you in one place lets you access them quickly and easily. To open an object from a navigation form, click its tab. The object will be displayed within the navigation form. Once an object is open, you can work with it as you normally would. Viewing the Orders form using a navigation formGenerally, navigation forms include only the objects a typical user will need to work with fairly regularly, which is why your navigation form may not include every single form, query, or report. This makes it easier to navigate the database. By hiding tables and rarely used forms, queries, and reports, it also reduces the chance of the database being damaged by users accidentally editing or deleting necessary data. For this reason, it's important to ask your database designer or administrator before working with objects that are not available in your navigation form. Once you have the go-ahead, you can simply maximize the Navigation pane and open the objects from there. Challenge!
