A great disappointment
Since I have read some other books in this series, I was expecting more. What this book lacks is any sort of help to the reader who does not want to simply create a few columns of data and display it on the screen. Printing the data is not covered, surely a pre-requisite for most users. Neither is the use of graphics, again, an important use for many. If you simply want to create a database and display it, then this book will suffice, if you want to do more, then forget it.
