Customer Reviews

the fog is clearing
This is a good book for a beginner. The examples are very good at walking you through the basics. The terminology/screen shots actually match what Access 2007 looks like. Some of the other books out there don't. Trust me, that creates alot of confusion. This book helps lay the foundation for creating very simple databases. If you have something more complicated in mind, you will need another book. What that book is....I'm not sure. After 2 books, I'm still looking.

A great getting started guide
This was a great getting started guide. It will help an end users Access from just starting out to intermediate. If you're looking to become proficient at macros and VBA, this is just the tip of the iceburg, but will still make a good starting point depending on your experience with previous versions of Access. It's clear examples and companion CD make learning the material easy and straight forward. Unless you're already pretty familiar with access I recommend you follow along with hands-on. There's a lot to know about Access 2007, and you won't remember much without a little practice.

Access Step by step
This is a good book for someone who is starting and wants to create simple databases, which of course will never be used.

As someone wrote earlier, this book is for parrots or monkeys. It shows you to click buttons.

However, Databases are complex and this book is no help.

We need a better book, which explains the details and at the same time is lucid.

I found that book to be the Missing manual by Mathew Macdonald.

Don't waste your money on Step by step. You can get a much superior product for almost the same price of SBS.
