 Forget
everything you know about Alpha. If you're
not sure how to do something, resist the impulse
to do it the Alpha way. Consult the Access
Help system and Office Assistant.
Queries
have a much more prominent role in Access than
they do in Alpha. In fact, they are the center
of the Access universe. Most of the forms and
reports you create in Access will use a query
for their data source. Queries are also used
to perform what are "Utilities" in
Alpha Four and "Operations" in Alpha
Five.
Say
good-bye to Field Rules as you know them. What
you do in Alpha's Field Rules is accomplished
at the Form level in Access. Use the properties
and events associated with controls you place
on forms. For example, to create what Alpha
calls a Table Lookup, use the Combo Box wizard
in Form Design. To fill another field automatically
when you make a selection from the combo box,
you must use the combo box control's After
Update event.
