In contrast to so many programming books that are padded with chat and screen dumps, this one deals with the fundamental concepts. By all means buy another Access application design and programming book that leads you chapter by chapter through the construction steps, but own this one too. The author is an emeritus professor of maths and his intelligence is obvious in this nice text. In a world with ever more computer technologies and languages we need authors like Prof Roman to flag the important information. (Comments refer to 2nd edition)

People should aim to develop databases in the most standard way to minimise the possibility that it can go wrong. Thus, the initial aim of developing databases should be to avoid having to go into the code and concentrate on the high level development tools already available. Utilising the basic methods of developing the database is hard enough in it's own right without having to understand the implications of dropping in and out of code and the intricacies of how the code is structured. This book is a reference,but not a guide, for the latter. It may be useful in that context but respect has to be given to the knowledge and time necessary to develop at the code level. To develop at the code level you need to understand the structure of the language being used and the organisation of the code it integrates with. You also need to be clear on the best practice structuring of the code you are adding and the desired interface. Don't just wander into coding! Avoid it if you can but if you need to you will need to get a better conceptual understanding than is offered in this book.

This book is a must for readers who are at the stage where they have mastered the GUI side of Access but want to learn more about the nuts and bolts.
The style of writing is easy to understand while still conveying the required information at the correct level.
Probably one of the better books on a technical subject that I have bought.

Okay for abstract principles, poor on practicalities.
This book is okay on presenting the principles of database layout, but doesn't live up to its front cover claim "what you really need to know to develop with access". Read more

An excellent book for newbie database programmers
If you are a newbie to database design and are interested in database programming this is the book for you. It is a very good companion book to Microsofts Running Access 97.

An excellent explanation of Access Database Theory.
A book that explains how to design a database in an Access development context, without first explaining how to use a computer. Read more

Concise and to the point
This book is not for beginners in computer databases as rightly stated in the first few pages. The meaty nature of the content suggest that it is not for the faint-hearted. Read more

MS Access or Quantum Physics?
