Great for beginners
I have tried several books to help me with coding in Access and was never able to full grasp it. This book made the basics very easy to understand. I even found better ways to code in VBA through this book than I had learned from other people that we considered seasoned experts in VBA. I would suggest this book for anyone that has never programmed in VBA and those of you that have been thrown into a position at work that you have to design a DB or taking over someone else's project. A majority of the information can be used in prior version of access as well.

One of the better programming books I've read
This book is pretty fun to read. That being said, it is certainly not geared towards those who know nothing of Access.

Knowing both VB and Access fairly well, I was looking for a book that would show me how to integrate VB functionality into Access applications. This book does that pretty well.

Before purchasing this book (or any other programming book for that matter) I recommend skimming the first three chapters and the table of contents to determine whether the subject matter is acceptable to you.

Access VBA
I have found this book very useful. It has a logical flow and increased my abilities to program in Access VBA. I think anyone with a little exposure to VB could pick this up and make sense of it. I would now like to see the "intermediate" book...
