Summary: Great Job!
Review: Take this book Back! That's waht I think. I have taught myself many programs including flash & excell from books but this book stinks! I am a novice to access and learned nothing on how to create anything from scratch. All this showed me is how to use an existing database. Well that does me no good since i can't figure out how to make my own! Time to find a better book!

Summary: too slow
Review: the book literally goes step by step for even the most simple task. It takes too long to learn even the most basic thing. Furthermore, the book is very procedure oriented. In other words, you learn to accomplish a very specific task without learning how to handle your own need.

Summary: Gets an absolute beginner up and running.
Review: This book is aimed at those who are completely new to Access. It will systematically, for the most part, allow a beginner to become familiar with Tables, Forms, Queries,etc... Good examples, CD contains video examples as well. If your new to Access and want to be held by the hand then buy this book.

Summary: Excellent and Thorough!
Review: This is an excellent book and a wonderful guide for beginners who want to gain a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of creating and maintaing a database. I felt like my hand was being held the whole way through with so many examples to work with. This book has really helped me out a lot as far as being able to create a database at my job. For more advanced functions such as creating and running macros, getting an introduction to SQL and Visual Basic, however, you will need to find another book that covers these topics.

Summary: Excellent Book for the end user
Review: You will learn how to be an Access user with this book. The book also makes a good reference. Contains a good database to work with. After mastering this book and you want to take it to the next level, programming, you will have to go on to more advanced books to learn SQL an Access VBA which are topics that are not mentioned at all in this book. This book is definitely a first step in the process of learning more advanced subjects.
