Excellent October 27, 2007

This is exactly how a self-study book should be written. I feel a novice would gain a lot from this, but it would help to have a little fundamental knowledge of Access and VBA before using this book. Only a little though.
The step-by-step nature and the tests at the end of each chapter are what make this book so superb as it forces the reader to learn and retain what they are being taught.
Let Smart give you a great Start September 10, 2007
This book will provide you with the know-how and more importantly the confidence to built Professionally designed databases very quickly. Once you have experienced the joy of this well constructed 'hands on' approach teaching method (ideal for such a tool as Access) you will be writing to Mike Smart to ask him to produce books for other software design tools.
On finishing the book (and the exercises) you are ready to proceed imediately to designing your own databases with the book in the background as reference if and when you need it.
I wholeheartedly reccommend this book to anyone wishing to learn Access and VBA.

Learn Access VBA in a direct, easy-to-follow manner August 31, 2007
A great practical hands-on book that should teach any beginning to intermediate Access user/developer how to design and build easy-to-use, effective database applications in a sensible manner. I really found it easy to read. And it's not just about Access VBA - although it certainly teaches you that - but about how best to leverage what MSAccess has to offer.
The learning comes in short manageable chunks - with zero distractions. You will learn the concepts as you write the code. The short lessons are grouped logically, and the entire book constitutes an excellent survey of Microsoft Access application development - with the fat trimmed off.
Two points in closing: I hope the author gets around to writing another Access book on planning, designing and deployment. And throw in a fat chapter on getting legacy data into Access - now that I would sink my teeth into.
The best Access book I've read March 30, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn Access VBA. The lessons were very easy to follow, and after reading it I've been able to do a lot of things with Access that I didn't think were possible before. I've also found it to be very valuable as a reference tool.
It certainly requires you to be well versed in working with Access using the Wizards and knowing how to create tables, queries and forms etc., but it's perfect for an advanced Access user who wants to make professional database applications.
