Other relevant features of the Access environment
The Access environment includes a number of other important features. In the far-right lower corner
are two buttons that enable you to quickly change the selected objects in the middle of the
screen from Design view to the object??™s Normal view. For instance, in the case of an Access table,
the Normal view is to display the table as a datasheet, while a report??™s Normal view is to display the
report in Print Preview.
Figure 2-10 illustrates one of the more interesting changes for Access 2007. A common complaint
among some developers with earlier versions of Access was the fact that, when multiple objects
were simultaneously opened in the Access environment, the objects would often overlap and
obscure each other, making it more difficult to navigate between the objects. For instance, in
Access 2000 you might have a form open in Design view and a table open in Datasheet view at the
same time. Invariably, one of these objects would overlap the other and, depending on how large
the object was, might completely obscure the other object.
