MS Access 2013 as a standalone program

Microsoft Access 2013 is another version of the powerful Microsoft database management system to capture data in a structured form and make it available for various types of further use. Access 2013 offers suitable interfaces, which not only allow the import of Excel- as well as PDF files, but especially from many types of SQL databases. Intuitive tools allow even inexperienced users to quickly get started with the software and create different types of database applications according to their individual needs - especially for enterprise goods management, data administration and project management, but also for private purposes. Access 2013 is thus ideally suited for small to medium-sized databases with up to 10 users.

For this purpose, Access provides users with numerous integrated templates and layouts with which typical applications can be created quickly and easily on the basis of the Desktop interface familiar from Office 2013. In addition, the software offers extensive reporting functions for professional evaluation of the status quo and other reports.

Via Office 365 or a SharePoint connection, Access 2013 also offers all the prerequisites for simplified collaboration in Team. User those who already use Windows 8 as their operating system can also take advantage of the optimized touch functionality here and also use the software to its full extent on corresponding end devices.

However, the most important novelty of Access 2013 is the Access web app! Once created, this database type can be published via SharePoint so that all employees with access rights can access it and work with it in real time.

Access 2013 is usually only available as a fixed part of the MS Office editions Professional and Professional Plus (or by subscription). By purchasing the single version of Access 2013 from Wiresoft, not only the users of other Office 2013 editions, but also users who do not have Office version installed, have the possibility to use this software on their PC. Access 2013 also offers the advantage that the program is still supported by older Microsoft operating systems from Windows 7 onwards - this means that users who do not want to switch to the current operating system will also benefit.

In addition to the 2013 version of MS Access, you can also purchase other versions of the software including the very latest edition as a single-user license at a low price in the Wiresoft online store - as well as the other Office programs. The following overview provides an introduction to the most important functions and features in Access 2013.

Configure and edit database applications individually in Access 2013

By integrating the Microsoft Jet Engine as a database system, all the tools of an integrated development environment are available in Access, which, thanks to its graphical user interface, is ideally suited for creating typical database applications. Access for this purpose, 2013 offers users many visual programming objects that are already geared towards database access; this makes it possible to efficiently and quickly create suitable applications without having to have a great deal of programming knowledge.

As a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), Access 2013 offers the decisive advantage over comparable database systems that the data collected via it can be used flexibly, so that users have the option of updating it at any time and thus also changing, adding to or even deleting it again. This transaction-oriented design makes MS Access 2013 ideal for managing business-relevant data and supporting operational systems in companies; typical tasks include not only the capture and provision of projects and task lists, but also of contact databases and, especially in the case of store systems, the tracking and management of inventories.

Access Standard 2013 supports the database query language SQL-92. Access uses both the older .mdb and the newer .accdb format (abbreviation for Microsoft Access Database) as its data format, which can also be opened by programs outside of Microsoft. When linking to an external data source, other Access-versions as well as Access-foreign formats can be used.

With Access 2013, various forms and object types of databases can be created or used - including:

• Forms for structured data entry
• Specifications for import and export
• Tables for data storage
• Queries for further processing of captured data
• Reports for output of captured data
• Macros for automating certain processes
• Visual Basic modules for simplification of certain processes
• Links between tables including the definition of integrity conditions

Especially the forms that can be individually created in Access 2013 are an extremely practical feature for entering and managing data not only manually, but also automatically via interfaces. Individual data records can be displayed in the form view in a structured and clearly arranged manner, which makes input and maintenance much easier. Various so-called form layout tools are available for creating these Access AutoForms as required.

Creating apps with Access 2013

However, the most important innovation that Access 2013 has to offer are the Apps! With the integrated tools, User can create different apps even without programming knowledge. To do this, the appropriate data type must first be selected, so Access automatically creates a complete database structure for this purpose, which already has a user-friendly interface. In addition to typical basic functions, the app already contains various Standard commands for adding or editing data and for navigating.

Controls can be placed or moved to a specific position as needed without having to make extra changes to the layout. This feature works intuitively so that User can click on the element in question with the mouse and simply move it to the desired position, automatically pushing aside other controls that are there to create the appropriate space.

The Access-Web applications can be made accessible online via a web browser by connecting to Microsoft SharePoint as a SharePoint-App and thus be shared with other users. This means that databases created in Access can be used not only locally on the PC, but also independently of location via an available web connection.

The other advantages of making Access apps available via SharePoint are, on the one hand, the possibility of obtaining information about the use of the respective app itself, and also of tracing such information that was generated via it.

Connecting Access 2013 to the Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL database also provides increased reliability and security, as well as scalability of data - when it is deployed in the Cloud as well as locally.
