5.0 out of 5 stars A very good no-fluff book with excellent formatting., 16 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Using Access 97 Special Edition (Special Edition Using) (Paperback)

I am very pleased with this book. There is a tremendous amount of information presented in a very effective manner. Very thorough, well written and I absolutely love the formatting. The targeted audience appears to be intelligent & experienced computers users not necessarily familiar with Access. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for users with some basic knowledge of Access, 4 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Using Access 97 Special Edition (Special Edition Using) (Paperback)

I have previously spent well over �150 on Access books and could have saved all that had I bought this one first. It is well balanced, thorough and I have found no errors (which is more than I can say for many of the others.) The exercises are well chosen, carefully explained and the results are all as expected. The highest praise I can give the book is that I have enjoyed working through it. I now feel much more at home with Access.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than most of what's around., 6 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Using Access 97 Special Edition (Special Edition Using) (Paperback)

This book is easier to learn from than the step-by-step books that the big publishers issue as textbooks. Once in a while you need to jump from chapter to chapter, but if you've ever used a Microsoft interface then this is an easy way to learn Access.
