USING MICROSOFT ACCESS XP- MANUAL

What is data?
• Data is made up of text, numbers, images and in some cases sounds which can be
processed or stored by a computer. By itself data might not mean very much. In order to
understand it, it needs to be interpreted (or processed) to become information.
• Information is the meaning given to data by the way in which it is interpreted.
• To illustrate the difference, Murray, 15000 and 10 mean little as data. But if we were
able to interpret them as the name of a salesman, Murray, his annual basic salary of
$15,000 and his commission rate of 10%, it would assume more meaning and could be
called information. This is not necessarily the end of the story as this information could
be included in another set of data and used to provide other information. Alternatively,
the same data could be interpreted in another way.
• It is often helpful to think of data as the raw ingredients of a recipe which when
processed and mixed in different amounts by differing techniques produce different
results.

What is a database?

• A simple definition of a database is:
A structured collection of related data about one or more subjects.
In normal daily life we make frequent use of databases, and probably don’t realise it.
Here are a number of simple examples:
- The telephone directory
- Bus or train timetable
- Personal address book
- Filing कैबिनेट

What is a relational database?

• A simple relational database, such as Microsoft Access, is a database which is based on
tables. Each column within a table defines the fields, while each row defines the records.
Different related data can be held in separate tables. For instance information about
suppliers can be held in one table, while information about products can be held in a
separate table.

5.1.1.2 Understand how a database is organised in terms of tables,
records, fields, and with field data types, field properties.

What is a table?

• A table holds data about a particular item, such as products or suppliers.
What is a record?
• A record is a collection of information which relates to a particular item within your
database table. For instance a record in an address book may consist of the first and
second name of a person, plus their phone number and address details. Each item
within a record is called a field.

What is a field?

• Fields are the individual items which make up a record within your database. In the
example of an address book database, first and second names of your contacts would
both be field names, as would the telephone number.

What is meant by 'Field data types'?

• A field must have a specific data type format. We will see more about this later, but for
now the illustration shows you the data types which are available within Microsoft
Access, including Text, Number, Currency etc.

What is meant by 'Field properties'?

• Each field has a range of field properties associated with it. For instance the Field Size
(set to 50 in the example shown), means that the field will hold a maximum of 50
characters.

Other properties include items such as data validation, which means that the sort of
information which is being entered into a field makes sense!
5.1.1.3 Understand what a primary key is.

What is a primary key?

• Primary keys uniquely identify each record in your table and provide the following
advantages:
- An index is automatically created for the primary key.
This speeds up data retrieval and sorting.
Also, the primary key is often used in establishing relationships.
- Records in a form or Datasheet are displayed in primary key order.
- Duplicate records are not allowed. Therefore all records are unique
- A primary key can be made up of one or more fields.
5.1.1.4 Understand what an index is.

What is an index?

• An index allows Microsoft Access to work faster when finding and sorting records. They
work in a similar way to the way you would use an index in a traditional book, i.e. Access
uses the index to find the location of the required data. Indexes can be created using a
single field, or using multiple fields.
5.1.1.5 Understand the purpose of relating tables in a database.

Why relate tables?

• When using Access you normally set up a number of tables, such as Customers,
Products, Orders, Employees etc. The next stage is to define relationships between
these tables so that the information within each table can be linked with the information
in the other tables. Once these table relationships are defined we can create queries,
forms and reports to display information which is actually spread across several tables.
5.1.1.6 Understand the importance of setting rules to ensure
relationships between tables are valid.

Design and document your database!
• It is extremely important to spend time designing your database as time spent here will
often pay dividends later on in the process, as you know where you are going and what
you are trying to do.

How do you know if you’ve got there if you don’t know where you are going?

Questions to ask yourself
• When setting out on the difficult design stage of producing the database there are a
number of questions which you should ask yourself or your user.
What do I want?: You must first establish why you require your database and what you
expect to get from it. It is most important to define your output needs first.
Mistakes are often made because people try to decide what to put into their database
before they know what they want from it.
What have I got?: Knowing what you want then allows you to look critically at what data
you have and make decisions as to how it should be structured in terms of fields and
tables.
What do I need to do?: This question asks you to look at any manipulation you need to
carry out in order to achieve your information output: searches, sorts, and calculations.
Define your needs
• In order to clarify your needs it is often useful to draw a simple diagram and/or write a
short narrative. If the database is being designed for others, show them your
sketch/narrative and use it to check your understanding of their requirements.
Example:
C.C.Toys is a retailer of toys for children of all ages. It buys its toys from a number of
suppliers. It employs four staff. The store is laid out according to themes under a number
of categories (e.g. Soft toys, Games Software etc.). Orders to suppliers can be for either
single or multiple products.
The illustration below shows the tables needed for C.C. Toys.

“Microsoft Office Word 2003.” If there is an icon of Microsoft Word available on your
desktop (shaped like a square with a "W" in the middle), you can open up the
program by double-clicking it, as well।

Making a New Blank Document:
When Word is opened, a new blank document should automatically open. If not, then
you can begin a new blank document in a variety of ways.
First, find the "New Blank Document" icon, which looks like a blank sheet of paper,
located underneath the menu bar in Word in what is called the "standard toolbar."
Click on the icon to bring up a new blank document.

Learn Pascal in Three Days

Your First Pascal Program
The Pascal program may be as simple as the one in Example 1-1. It displays on your
screen the phrase “Hi there.”
{ ----------------------------- Example 1-1 ------------------------------ }
PROGRAM FirstProgram(OUTPUT);
BEGIN
WRITELN('Hi there')
END.
Whether the Pascal program is small or large, it must have a specific structure. This
program consists mainly of one statement (WRITELN) which does the actual work
here, as it displays whatever comes between the parentheses. The statement is
included inside a frame starting with the keyword BEGIN and ending with the keyword
END. This is called the program main body (or the program block) and usually
contains the main logic of data processing.
Comments
Consider the first line in the program:
{ ----------------------------- Example 1-1 ------------------------------ }
This is a comment and is totally ignored by the compiler. Comments can appear anywhere
in the Pascal program between two braces ({}) or between the two symbols
(* and *) thus:
(* This is a comment *)
1
Program Heading
The second line is called the program heading. It starts with the keyword PROGRAM
followed by a space, followed by the program name (FirstProgram). The program
name is a user-invented word. User-invented words are classified in Pascal as identifiers.
An identifier must begin with a letter and may contain any number of letters or
digits (in Turbo Pascal it may contain underscores as well). You are free to choose any
meaningful name for your program, but do not expect a program name like “BEGIN”
or “PROGRAM” to be accepted. These words are called reserved words, and they are
only used in the proper place in the program. Pascal reserved words are summarized
in Appendix B.
The program name is followed by the word OUTPUT contained in parentheses and
terminated with a semicolon:
PROGRAM FirstProgram(OUTPUT);
The keyword OUTPUT tells the compiler that this program is going to produce output
(such as writing to the screen), which is the counterpart of INPUT (such as reading
from the keyboard). The words OUTPUT and INPUT are called file parameters. The
program may perform both input and output, in which case the file parameters take
the form:
PROGRAM FirstProgram(INPUT,OUTPUT);
In Turbo Pascal the program heading is optional. You may skip the whole line and start
your program with the word BEGIN, or you may use the program name without
parameters, like this:
PROGRAM FirstProgram;
Syntax and Conventions
The most important syntax is the semicolon after the program heading (which is used
as a separator) and the period after the word END (which terminates the program).
A common convention is to write Pascal keywords in uppercase and the user-invented
names (identifiers) in lowercase with the first letter capitalized. If the name consists of
more than one word (which is the case in this program), the first letter in each word is
capitalized. So, in Pascal programs you may see identifiers like:
Wages
PayRoll
HoursWorkedPerWeek
This is just a convention to make your program readable, but Pascal compilers are not
case sensitive. This means that you can write the entire program in lowercase as in
2 Chapter 1
􀀀􀀀
􀀀􀀀
Example 1-2, or in uppercase as in Example 1-3. All three of the programs will compile
and run.
{ ------------------------------ Example 1-2 ------------------------------ }
program firstprogram(output);
begin
writeln('Hi there')
end.
{ ------------------------------ Example 1-3 ------------------------------ }
PROGRAM FIRSTPROGRAM(OUTPUT);
BEGIN
WRITELN('Hi there')
END.
All blank lines, indentations, and spaces (except those following the Pascal keywords)
are optional, but it is a good programming habit to use this method to make your program
well-organized and readable।
1-2 Displaying Text: WRITELN, WRITE
To display several lines of text you need a WRITELN statement for each line, as in the
following program in Example 1-4. Be sure to put quotes around text strings.
NOTE A companion CD-ROM comes with this book to help you save time and
effort. This disc contains the source code of all examples, in addition to the
solutions of the drills. Please read the Readme.txt or Readme.htm file on the
distribution disc. It contains the instructions for installing the files on your hard drive.
Notice that the Readme.htm file starts up automatically when you insert the CD into
the drive.
{ ------------------------------ Example 1-4 ------------------------------ }
PROGRAM LinesOfText(OUTPUT);
BEGIN
WRITELN('Hi there.');
WRITELN('How are you today?');
WRITELN('Are you ready for Pascal?')
END.
Now the program contains more than one statement. Each statement must be separated
from the next one with a semicolon. This is the only way the compiler can
recognize the end of a statement, but for the last statement in the program block you
may skip the semicolon.
When you compile this program it will give the following output:
Hi there.
How are you today?
Hello Pascal 3
Are you ready for Pascal?
The WRITELN statement displays a line of text followed by a new line (a linefeed and
a carriage return). If you wish to display two strings on the same line, you need to use
the WRITE statement as shown in the following program.
{ ------------------------------ Example 1-5 ------------------------------ }
PROGRAM TwoLines(OUTPUT);
BEGIN
WRITE('Hi there. ');
WRITELN('How are you today?');
WRITELN('Are you ready for Pascal?')
END.
The output of this program is:
Hi there. How are you today?
Are you ready for Pascal?
As you can see in the program output, the second string is written on the same line as
the first string as a result of using the WRITE statement to display the first string.
This is the only difference between the two output statements WRITE and
WRITELN.
If you want to display a blank line, you only need the statement:
WRITELN;
Drill 1-1
Write a Pascal program to display the following text on the screen:
Wordware Publishing, Inc.
-------------------------
2320 Los Rios Boulevard
Plano, Texas 75074
-Crunching Numbers
The easiest task for any program is to crunch numbers. The statement WRITELN (or
WRITE) can be used both to display numbers and evaluate numerical expressions. You
can build up arithmetic expressions using the following arithmetic operators:
+ addition
– subtraction
* multiplication
/ division
4 Chapter 1
Take a look at these examples:
WRITELN(123);
WRITELN(1.23 * 4);
The first example displays the number between the parentheses (123). The second
example performs multiplication of two numbers and displays the result. Notice that
for numeric values, unlike text strings, you don’t use quotes.
You may use WRITELN to display text and numbers in the same statement by using
the comma as a separator like this:
WRITELN('The result is=', 125 * 1.75);
The following program is used to evaluate two numeric expressions (multiplication
and division) and display the results preceded by the proper text.
{ ------------------------------ Example 1-6 -------------------------------}
PROGRAM CrunchNumbers(OUTPUT);
BEGIN
WRITELN('I can easily crunch numbers.');
WRITELN('Here is multiplication of 50x4:',50*4);
WRITELN('..and here is division of 2400/8:',2400/8)
END.
The output of this program is:
I can easily crunch numbers.
Here is multiplication of 50x4:200
..and here is division of 2400/8: 3.0000000000E+02
The multiplication is done as expected. The two operands (50 and 4) were integers
(whole numbers) and the result (200) was an integer too. The division result, however,
came out in a format that needs some explanation.
Integers and Real Numbers
The division performed with the operator / is called real division and always produces
as its result a real number. Real numbers may be written in fixed-point notation (such
as 300.0) or in scientific (exponential) notation (such as 3.0E+02), but in Pascal, real
number output will always be represented in scientific notation by default. A number
written in scientific notation is made up of two parts divided by the letter E (or e). The
left part is called the mantissa and indicates the significant digits, while the right part
is called the exponent. The exponent is a power of ten that determines the position of
the decimal point. So, in this example the number:
3.0000000000E+02
is the same as the number:
3 x 102
Hello Pascal 5
The same number, when expressed in fixed-point format, becomes:
300.0
If the exponent is preceded by a minus sign as in:
3.124E–02
then the decimal point is shifted two positions to the left. This number, then, is the
same as:
0.03124
If the number is negative, the minus sign should precede the mantissa:
–0.0124E–02
If the number is positive, you may omit the sign for either the mantissa or the
exponent:
1.23E02
The division operator (/) is called the real division operator, because the result always
appears as a real number regardless of the type of the operands.
For integer division use the operator DIV as in the example:
WRITELN(2400 DIV 8);
This will produce the output 300.
With integer division, any fraction in the result will be truncated, as in this example:
WRITELN(9 DIV 4); produces the output 2
Another important operator, MOD, is used to get the remainder of integer division
(modulo), as in these examples:
WRITELN(9 MOD 4); produces the output 1
WRITELN(3 MOD 4); produces the output 3
The operators DIV and MOD take only integer operands and produce integer output.
For the other operators (+, –, and *), if either one of the operands is real, the result
will be real.

Ajax Programming for the Absolute Beginner

introduction

welcome to Ajax Programming for the Absolute Beginner! Ajax (Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML) is a collection of web development technologies that
can be used to create web applications that provide levels of responsiveness
previously unheard of. As a result, when combined with high-speed internet connections,
you can use Ajax to develop web applications that behave and respond
like desktop applications.
In recent years, web developers have begun to make major investments in Ajax,
using it to create a whole new generation of web applications. For example, Google
has used Ajax in the creation of all its latest applications, including Google Suggest,
Google Maps, and Gmail. Amazon.com has used Ajax in the development of
its A9.com search engine as well as to enhance and improve its main website.
Websites like Ask.com and Snap.com have used Ajax to make major improvements
to their search engines. Other companies have used Ajax to help develop entire
office suites of free online applications. For example, ThinkFree Online
(www.thinkfree.com) can create text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
all of which are 100 percent compatible with Microsoft Office. Google’s Google
Docs Online office suite (docs.google.com) is another example of online applications
developed using Ajax.

When it comes to web development, Ajax is truly the “next big thing.” Ajax is
becoming an essential ingredient in the makeup of modern web applications. Ajax
is being used in the development of all kinds of exciting new applications and
rightly so, given its ability to support the creation of web applications with
desktop-like performance.
Using Ajax programming techniques you can transform the way your web applications
look and feel, providing your visitors with a significantly enriched experience.
By learning how to create Ajax applications, you will develop a highly
marketable set of skills that are currently in high demand. To help you accomplish
this goal, this book uses a hands-on instructional approach, emphasizing learning
by doing, which is accomplished through the development of a series of computer
games.
So, whether you are a student who has just signed up for an introductory web development
class that uses Ajax, a hobbyist who wants to have some fun, or a web developer interested
in expanding your skill set, this book will help you get off to a good start. By the time you are
done, you will be ready to begin taking your web applications to the next level


WHY AJAX?
Ajax changes the way in which web applications are designed, replacing requests for new web
pages and screen refreshes with small data queries to web servers. By requesting less data,
the web servers are able to respond quicker. Ajax data requests are made asynchronously,
meaning that users no longer have to sit and wait for the web server to fulfill a request.
Instead, the user can continue to work with the web application while Ajax collects and processes
the web server’s data in the background, and when it is time to do so, Ajax can use the
data to dynamically update the web page without forcing a page reload. The end result is a
streamlined, faster, and more desktop-like experience.
Because it relies on commonly available technologies like JavaScript and XML, Ajax is readily
available and supported by all major computer operating systems and web browsers. You do
not have to download and install any special software to work with Ajax, and the people who
visit your website do not have to install anything to view and interact with your Ajax
applications


WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK?
Ajax Programming for the Absolute Beginner is designed to teach first-time programmers, computer
enthusiasts, and web developers interested in adding Ajax to their bag of tricks. An
understanding of HTML is required for you to complete this book. While previous programming
experience is certainly helpful, as is a basic understanding of JavaScript, the DOM, CSS,
the XMLHttpRequest object, and XML, you do not need to be an expert with any of these technologies.
You will learn all that you need to know about each of these technologies as you
make your way through this book.
In addition to teaching you everything you need to know to get up and running quickly, this
book will make your learning experience as enjoyable as possible. This will be accomplished
using a games-based instructional approach in which you will learn Ajax programming
through the creation of web-based computer games. If this approach to learning sounds interesting
and fun to you, then keep reading. It won’t be long before you are creating all kinds
of fun and exciting web applications


WHAT YOU NEED TO BEGIN?
Ajax is not something that you can buy in a box or download from the internet. It is a collection
of related technologies that are readily available to everyone. Because it is based on
technologies like JavaScript, XML, and the DOM, it is readily available. You do, however, need
a few tools and resources to get started. Ajax uses JavaScript as its programming language. In
order to develop JavaScript code, you need a text or code editor. If you already have a code
editor that you are using to develop your HTML pages, odds are it will support JavaScript as
well. Otherwise, you can use any plain text editor, such as Windows Notepad, when developing
Ajax applications.
In addition to an editor, you will need access to one or more web browsers like Internet
Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or Opera to test your web applications. Because Ajax applications
are designed to work with web servers, you also need access to a web server and the ability to
develop programs that run on the server. For most people this means signing up with one of
the many available web service providers.
Most Ajax applications involve the development of some server-side programs. In this book,
server-side applications (programs that run on web servers) are developed using PHP. Although
the use of PHP will be minimal, to follow along with and test the execution of all of
the examples in this book, you will want to make sure that your service provider supports the
execution of PHP.


Working with Different Web Browsers
Ajax uses JavaScript as its programming language. As such, Ajax is susceptible to all of the
same problems that JavaScript programmers face. One of these compatibility issues involves
the browser. Due to internal design differences, different web browsers work differently with
JavaScript and therefore with Ajax. To properly test your Ajax applications, you should use
all major web browsers, including those listed below, to make sure that they behave as you
expect them to.
• Internet Explorer
• Apple’s Safari
• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
Most of the figures and examples that you will see in this book are demonstrated using Internet
Explorer 7. Except where noted, all of the examples that are presented in this book
should work exactly the same on all of the major web browsers.


What You Need to Know
In order to take advantage of this book, you need to be familiar with the basics of HTML
development and, of course, you need a website that you can work with and are interested
in making more responsive and dynamic. Beyond that, this book will provide everything else
you need to know. This includes an overview of how to program using JavaScript and the
Document Object Model. This book also provides a basic review of XML and CSS.
Ajax applications have a server-side component needed to make them work. There are many
different server-side programming languages from which to choose, including Ruby on Rails,
PHP, Java Servlets, and ASP. Of these, PHP is arguably the most popular and easiest to work
with and is the server-side programming language that this book uses. You will not have to
become a PHP guru in order to make your way through this book. However, a basic understanding
of PHP will be helpful. To make sure you have a basic understanding of PHP
programming, this book provides a quick server-side PHP programming primer.

After Effects CS5

This information is brought to you by the After Effects CS5 -
Making Your Animation Smarter

Animation in After Effects CS5 is very easyto create. Making it smarter is what takes a
little moretime. You want your animationto be realistic with your elements behaving liket hey would in real life. We just created a very simple animation with a ball moving fromt he beginningtot he end of a ramp ("After Effects CS5 Keying andt he Timeline"). This was more of an introductiontot he tools and panels than a realistic animation.There were some very basic things missing and we will addresst hose now. Our ball was supposedto be rolling down a ramp but instead it just decidedto move from one
endtot he other. Of course it needsto rotate andto roll down a ramp; it needs a littlehelp, a little
slopeperhaps with some assistance from gravity.

With just a little review we will addt he few adjustmentst hat will maket his a real roller. We
checked under our ball's 'Transfer' attributes, set a keyframe fort he 'Position' value by clicking
ont he stop clocktot he left of 'Position', moved our balltot he end oft hetimeline and added
another keyframe. This is allt hat was necessarytohave our ball move fromt he beginningtot he

end oft he ramp.

We really just needto addtwot hings int his exercise. Our ball needsto roll downt he ramp and the rampn e e d s to provide a slope. We'll add the rolling partf ir st.It's very easy butd o e s have one After Effects caveat. The rollingpart is just liket heposition. Entert he 'Home' keyto be sure you are at the beginning of your movie.

Opent he 'Transform' attribute set. Just like we clicked ont he 'Position' settingto create a
keyframe at the beginning, click on 'Rotation' and click itstime clock. You will see a gold
diamond, a keyframe appear ont hetimeline just undert he one for 'Position'. Now movetot he
end of your movie, you can entert he 'end' keyto dot his in one step, and enter some revolutions
for your ball. Int he 'Rotation' setting you seet hehighlighted values '0x+0.0' with a degree sign.
You can increase or decreaset hese values by clicking and sliding with your mouse. The '0' on

the leftr epresents whole revolutions so if you moved it to 1, that would be one revolution. If yo


movedt he '0' ont he right to '180't hat would be ahalf revolution. You are working with a 360 degree circle revolution setting. Int his exercise simply increasingt he left valueto 4 or 5 is fine. We're visualizinghow many times your ball will rotate while rolling down the hill.N o w hit the 'Home' key,start your movie. Your ball rolls downt he ramp ora c r o s s your ramp because wehaven't created its slope yet. But something isn't right. Your ball wobbles with a focuspoint away from its center. This is because the default'a n chor point', the center point and focal point of attribute adjustmentis n 't the true center of our ball. For reasons deemed byt he After Effects designers, the anchorpoint of all shape layers ist he center oft he layer.

We can fixt his. Next tot he shapetool ont hetop toolbar ist he 'Pan Behind Tool'. This will let us
movet he anchorpoint for our ballto itstrue center. With time at the beginning of our movie,
choose your ball shape, then chooset he 'Pan from Behind'tool and click int he center of your
ball. Thepath followed by your 'Position' settings is displayed and you can uset he first keyframe

point of your 'Position' path as your 'Pan Behind Tool' center.This will place the center of action, the center of rotation or center of scaling at the true center of our ball instead of the composition center.

Now try playing your movie and you will your ball roll acrosst he ramp, turning on its own axis just like a wheel on a wagon. Usingt he 'Rotation' setting for our ramp, adjust it visually. Make it look like what it wouldtake for a nice roll. At thispoint, there is only onet hing left andt hat is, when you shift the slope oft he ramp, you can seehowt he animatedpath oft he ball doesn't
match now. All we needto do is set the beginning and endposition of our ballto match the slope oft he ramp

The path of the ball is set completely bytwopoints, its beginning and endposition so adjusting these to the heightat the beginning and end of our newly sloped ramp will correct this. Now our ball rolls, it rolls on its own axis, and it rolls downhill, just like a rolling ball should! Full Moons, Dogcreek, think globally, act locally.
