Summary: Very Detailed, Step By Step Instructio
Comment: It's not the easiest read, but if you're somewhat computer savvy and have an inkling as to what databases are all about; then this is the perfect book to have in your library. The companion cd and tutorials provide great practice in getting started with your first database. I've always found "The Bible" series to be the only resource I look to when I'm new to a program. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Reasonable Teaching and Reference Book
Comment: This is one of the better technical "how to" books out there. It covers the majority of what a novice to an advanced intermediate Access developer would want to know about Access 2003. However, like so many technical books these days there are problems.
In my mind the most significant problem is the lack of a framework in which to put all that information. For example,while the overview in the beginning describes the purpose for the individual chapters on reports, forms, tables, etc. it doesn't describe the overall relationships between these components or why you would want or need to use one over the other.
Also, there are mistakes in the examples which particularly for a beginner can be frustrating. The book comes with a CD containing various databases to be used with the examples. In some cases, the example being referenced doesn't even exist on the CD. The index is also a disappointment as many times I had to just page through the book to find the information I wanted. But then, that seems to be a common failing of technical books in general.
I do like the fact that the first four chapters are devoted to understanding data constructs in a relational database. And what's presented there pretty much jives with my experience - as a professional software engineer I've had a fair amount. After all, if you don't get the data right, you're going to have problems regardless of how elegantly you display or report it.
Overall I would recommend this book as a good resource for developers who want to learn the capabilities that MS Access 2003 provides right out of the box. Those of you who already have a fair amount of experience and want to produce a professional Access application will need to learn at least Visual Basic for Applications in addition to the information that's in this book.

Summary: ACCESS Bilble
Comment: Every year I update my library with the "Bible" series. I have essentially self-taught using these products. Easy to ready and understand.
Customer Rating:
Summary: THE book for Access
Comment: I have this book as well as the Excel 2003 Bible. Both are very useful. One of the best benefits is that a pdf of the book is included with the book. The pdf is searchable, so when I am on the road I can carry the entire book with me and quickly find the information I need without carrying the weight of the hardcopy.

Summary: Excellent reference material
Comment: Excellent reference material. Whether you are a seasoned professional or 'new kid on the block.' I highly reccomend it.
