Summary: Worse than a 'for dummies' book
Review: Don't buy this unless you're a complete idiot, and are not sure how to navigate in Windows. The explanations of how to open, save and close a program are for people like my mother who still has problems with basic computer operations (like where to put the CD). There are way too many bubbles and button pictures that I can't stand to have the book open for more than 5 seconds.

Summary: Worse than a 'for dummies' book
Review: This is a great book, not only as a textbook in a classroom environment, but just for anyone who wants to get a basic idea about how to get started with Access 97. The first part of the book includes a basic introduction into Microsoft Office, to get the reader familiar with basic Microsoft procedures, (i.e., the menu bar, the Start button, starting Office applications, etc.). The second part gets into the actual Access 97 program itself. The reader simply downloads the software off of the Internet, then follows along in the book, using those files to complete the necessary steps for each learning event. The material, as a whole, gives the reader a comprehensive introduction to Access 97, although it does not go deep into the many applications of which this program is capable. However, if the reader wants a good jumping-off point into Access (which is, in this reviewer's opinion, one of the more complicated Microsoft programs), this is the book to acquire.
