Rating:  Summary: A waste of money Review: This book is so riddled with errors, I can't believe it was published. Bad grammar, mislabled pictures, erroneous statements -- you name it. Wiley should be embarrassed to have put out a book this shabby.
Rating:  Summary: This is a must buy! Review: This is a great book for beginners and intermediate developers alike. Examples are clear and concise. I started reading and had a hard time putting it down. Very complete on tables, querys, forms, reports and macros. Also has chapter on Visual Basic. You won't be sorry with this one, it's a great buy!
Rating:  Summary: Thought the book was comprehensive and detailed Review: This is my fourth full-length book on Access and the first that covered forms and reports completely. It used a great example that built from chapter to chapter. I was impressed with the detailed example and free software on the CD. The Check Writer worked fine for me, I simply had to change the printer to my network printer.
Rating:  Summary: An in-depth Access 2000 course Review: This practical volume provides a thorough coverage of Access 2000's features, explaining each function in detail, providing a well-rounded knowledge base for the learner. It is written with the beginner and experienced user in mind, covering everything from the basics to the more advanced topics.It is a training manual and reference book combined, with chapters designed so they can be studied in any order, though working sequentially would be the ideal way to go. The material and specific tasks covered in previous chapters are reviewed for consolidation, and even finding a specific topic is made easy through its exhaustive index. However, if you are in a hurry to delve into the secrets of Access 2000, there is a detachable quick start hands-on guide at the beginning of the book, from which you can learn the basics and acquire a general overview of Access' features in a short time. It also contains various keyboard shortcuts. The accompanying CD contains the book in electronic form, the files used throughout the manual, and several other useful programmes.
