Summary: Excellent Access 2.0 focused Application Development Guide
Review: This book takes a very practical guide to the real world development of a reasonably sophisticated Access 2.0 application. While the author assumes that the reader can create elementary tables and queries, the focus is on the complete development (largely through Access Basic) of one application that gives the reader an excellently balanced guide that covers issues without perhaps dwelling on the absolute completeness of other texts. This is not a reference book. It is a learning and doing book.Whilst Litwin, Getz et. al. (Access xx Developer's Handbook) may be the Access developers bible, Melissa Dunn's text is excellent for anyone wanting to "cut to the chase" of Access development and use other texts to perhaps supplement the issues that they might want to study further. Melissa's book is not for the absolute novice or someone that is uncomfortable with exploring the programmability of Access, but for everyone else this is a terrific way to learn how Access can work. ps. I would love to see an Access 95/97 version.
