Not quite what I expected. July 20, 2008 A beautifully produced book with clear diagrams. It was not as orderly as I expected and though it says on the back that the user level is 'Beginner - Advanced', it does not show you how to make a database and says as much on the inside. It is too advanced for me and I wont be able to use it until I have mastered Acces by which time I probably wont need to use it.
Although the front cover states 'The only access book you need', I would suggest that unless you are already accomplished at acces this is not the book for you.
I will perservere and I know I will get my monies worth from it, but that will be a while in coming.
Would I recommend it? yes if you have a basic knowledge before you open the cover and can alaready build a database, otherwise I would suggest something that starts with how to build a database first.
Very good, from begginner to pro! February 23, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is great if like me you need to build a database with lots of linking tables and needed the forums and other data entry forms to be easy and simple to use. The book comes with a CD which is great for examples as they are all on the disk!
The lang used in the book is pro form the start, but does give a definition. Just got to remember them all. Once the have the book is easy to work which. Some users made find they know a lot of the stuff at the start and just pick up on tips, but the database you make in the book has all the stages on the disk so you dont have to spend time going thought the whole book just to get to were you want.
Recommended! 10/10
