Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "We used WHERE to filter out the rows we were interested in."

A block of code is set as follows:

SQL = "SELECT Count(capacityindicatorsstats.ID) AS RecCount FROM capacityindicatorsstats;"
Call CreatePassThrough(SQL, "CISCount", True, False)
Set RS = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("CISCount", dbOpenDynaset)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

RS.MoveFirst
Me.cntSeries = RS.Fields("SeriesCount")
RS.Close

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ mkdir css
$ cd css

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "If not, right-click on it in the Navigation Panel and select Design View."
