Great Resource

Great book for providing a comprehensive overview of the value-add of MS Access and some of the practical appliations for which it is used. I would reccomend to anyone that wants to start experimenting with the capabilities of Access.

Information at the Expense of Instruction

As far as I can tell, this text is full of useful programming information for working with Access but I have not used much of it. It presumed more knowledge on my part than I actually have. I was able to read over it and get the basic concepts for a fair amount but the actual ability to use the information has not developed. I got the information at the expense of instruction.The biggest problem is the lack of a disk with the examples. Supposedly, you can get the examples over the web but I most often do this type of stuff on the laptop from motel rooms in out of the way places with no or very limited access to the net. For me, that was an unworkable solution.Even if it had included a disk, I don't think I would have liked this text too much because of the explanations. As I mentioned before, they seem to assume a level of knowledge on my part that I do not yet possess. It almost seemed as if I needed to know how to program in VBA before I could learn to program in VBA.On the plus side, the screen shots are not generous in either quantity or size but they are definitely readable. This far surpasses the norm for most computer instruction books in my experience.Others with more experience may well get more out of this book than I did. I plan on keeping it around in the hope that I may grow into it but, as yet, its usefulness has been minimal.

Excellent Handbook

This is an wonderful MS Access handbook. It includes practical examples on how to use vba and sql to get the most out of your Access app. You won't get bogged down in unnecessary details and analysis.

Wriiten for Access 2003

I ordered this manual and it was not apparent from any of the pics or editor's comments, etc. that this was written for the 2003 version of Access. I should have noticed the publishing date (my bad). I haven't gone thru the book yet as I have other books in this order to go thru also, so the content may be fine, just dated.

Problem with illustrations.

On the Kindle you can change the font size, which is great for me since my eyes aren't that good. The problem is that the illustrations, which are extracts of programs, are all too small and I can't read them.

A Quick Lesson for the Non-programming Professional

With Microsoft Access you automatically get a lot of capabilities to do forms and reports based on the data to be put into or taken out of the database you create. You also get a macro capability so that a limited amount of manipulation of this data can be done automatically. Used less frequently but which is far more powerful is the programming language Visual Basic for Applications or VBA. Built into each copy of Access for several versions VBA is there and available for use whenever needed. All that's needed is the skill to write the programs.This is a relatively small book for one on computer software, it's hardly 400 pages. The intent of the book is to get you up and running in a short period of time. It's aimed at the computer professional who use Microsoft Access in a business setting. You are not expected to be a programmer, but by the end of the book you'll be able to program using VBA and to do so quickly.When you know VBA for Access, you'll also be well on your way to knowing VBA for the rest of the Microsoft office suite. The various forms of VBA do have some changes that relate to the underlying structure of the application. But the basic structure of the language itself is the same.There's only one thing I'd like to see added in the next revision of the book, that is a list of the reserved words used by the Access database. Not knowing these has gotten me in trouble a couple of times.
