Good book. Easy to find the answers to my questions and get back to work. Good examples and written with clear explanations that get to the point.
Good Day.

This book really stands out from the crowd. Most VBA texts are written by great programmers who are terrible teachers. Not in this case - Using VBA to unlock the power of MS Access is thoroughly and clearly explained - from concepts such as database design and objects to JET, DAO/ADO and beyond. The author shows how to do everything that you can do with Macros, how to do many things that you can't do without VB and then how to most efficiently do all of them! Most useful is the clear way in which the book shows how to perform tasks efficiently in interactive (Forms) and automated (DAO/ADO Recordset manipulation) ways and when to choose each- this book will remain an invaluable tool in my library and be referenced often.

I must agree with other reviewers. In spite of a good knowledge of Access the reading of this book does not help to write practical applications, and is very frustrating. The author jumps from topic to topic and gives very little code that can be used in real life situations. I would qualify this book as no more than a broad and theoretical overview.

There was a lot of material in this book, but it has nearly all presented elsewhere better and more clearly. This basically reads like a book that somebody put together by cutting and pasting from other books on the market. There was not any kind of help with problems that users would encounter in the real world.
I would say this book is about 80% filler. Not worth the money.

The book illustrates data that is not in the referenced database and discusses information in a database that is on the supplied CD. However, the author does not reveal the password for the database for an additional 20 pages. That database is also encrypted so that it is virtually useless since the author discusses making changes to it.
Very poorly written.
