Customer Reviews
Excellent instructions
Ok so access is a little difficult to get you head around sometimes!!! But this book is written by a woman who understands that and puts it in plain english instead of computer jargon.
There are simple instructions, diagrams (pictures, so you can make sure what you are looking at is the same as what is in the book) and some very useful tips. I found that this was one of the better books that i have purchased in relation to Access (and i have brought a few) and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn more about this microsoft programme.
The book itself tells you everything in relation to creating a database including doing reports, changing items etc.
Well if you do decide to purchase this book i hope it helps you out as much as it helped me!
Great book for getting started
Coming to access as a complete beginner I found this book incredibly useful, all the steps are clearly presented, and you can skip backwards and forwards through the book allowing you to quickly build your own database rather than having to plod through a strict tutorial. You will not find much theory in here - mainly practical how-to's.
This book is for beginners, and its a great start.
How to do everything with Access
Not very helpful. Needed advcie about producing some elaborate reports for a directory and wasn't able tohelp at all. It leaves out the difficult bits -the bits you want to know about. A big book, expensive and not worth the money or the read.
