In-Depth Information
Changing default program options
In earlier chapters, we accomplished most common database tasks by working with the
default Access program settings. After you work with Access for a while, you might want to

where in the Access Options dialog box makes the customization process more efficient.
In this exercise, you'll take a closer look at the Access Options dialog box and explore
several of the available pages.
