MOUS Essentials: Access 2000

Summary: I passed the exam!
Review: As a college instructor of software, I have found this book to be very understandable, challenging and compelling. Students new to Access can pick up this book and work on their own to understand the software with little assistance. Yet the book includes challenging exercises which can force the student to work with myself or other students to figure out how to approach the problem and solve it.

I have found this book to be better written then many others, the layout is friendly and enhances the classroom work. I am able to create labs from examples in the book which bring the concepts to the student with more clarity.

I use this book also to teach Access over the Internet. I provide the students with what problems to work and after completion of my course many have gone on to get Microsoft Certification.

I like this book and so have my students. I will continue to use it for my courses.

Review: I used this book to prepare for exam, and I passed on the first try! It used interesting examples, and I got through it without too many problems. This is a DIFFICULT subject, and I think they explained things really well. There is just so much to remember!

Summary: This book is not worth the $45 price tag.
Review: This book tells the student repeatedly to "send the file to Drive A and remove the read only status." However it gives very little attention to relationships and join types. Also there are numerous typos throughout the book; some of which are obvious and others will cause the student to pull out their hair in frustration. This is a decent book if you have a good instructor who can steer you around its pitfalls....
