Examples for the Visual Query Builder
This document uses simple examples to demonstrate many of the Visual Query Builder features. These examples use the dbtoolboxdemo
data source (tutorial
database) for Microsoft Access. Instructions for setting up this data source are in Setting Up a Data Source. If you don't have Microsoft Access, you should still be able to follow the examples because they are not complex.
If your version of Microsoft Access is different than that used in Setting Up a Data Source you might get different results than those presented here. If your results differ, check your version of Access and check the table and column names in your databases to see if they are the same as those used in the examples.
Running a Visual Query Builder Demo
You can run a demo of the Visual Query Builder, which illustrates its main features. In the Visual Query Builder dialog box, select Demos from the Help menu. Follow the instructions in the Command Window, which prompt you to press Enter to move through the demo.
The demo runs on Windows platforms only. It uses the dbtoolboxdemo
data source (tutorial
database). Instructions for setting up this data source are in Setting Up a Data Source.
If your version of Microsoft Access is different than that referred to in Setting Up a Data Source, you might get different results than those shown in the demo. If your results differ, check your version of Access and check the table and column names in your database to see if they are the same as those used in the demo.
