Web databases introduced a few ribbon design challenges, particularly how to present client and web create options? We wanted to make sure that people creating client objects are just as successful as web objects. When you create a new database from scratch, you have two options: either to open a blank database or a blank Web database. Creating a new blank Web database opens a new database that allows you to create both Web and Client objects. Client objects have the full designers and ability to include VBA whereas the Web object designers enable you to build tables,

The Create ribbon makes it easy to create Web objects by selecting any of the top level options. Client objects can be created by selecting the options in the Client Forms, Client Reports and Client Objects dropdowns. Creating a new blank database opens a new database that has the full designers. Any form, report, query or macro you create in this database cannot run on the Web. This Create ribbon is below and gives all the Client objects you can create. You can still publish the database to Access Services. You do this by going to the File tab, going to the Save & Publish tab and selecting the Publish to Access Services option. Once the database passes compatibility checker and publishes, you can create Web objects to bring parts of your database to the Web. At this point, the ribbon changes to the Web database ribbon that optimizes entry points to create Web objects. There will be a few changes coming after Beta 2… For book authors interested in how the Create ribbon will look when we ship Access 2010, you can reference the ribbon below.
