5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the intermediate skilled Access 97 developer, 25 Mar 1999
By A Customer
If you understand basic database concepts and want to make your applications more sophisticated by learning VBA for Access 97, this is the perfect book. I found the Access 97 Developer's Handbook helpful, but too advanced to get much out of it. This book helped me to make use of the Developer's Handbook and develop much better applications. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit too many typos, but worth the money anyway., 23 Jul 1998
By A Customer
An ideal reader of this book should have quite some knowledge of table, query, form and report design, but no macro and module design experience. That's when this book is a real eye-opener. It assumes no previous knowledge of VBA and it starts of with basic things--Access and DAO object model, introduction to events, etc. Then, it went on to identifiers(i.e. how do you reference fields, controls, etc), and only THEN it goes on to programming techniques like if..then and other decision structures, a heavy chunk of DAO, a bit of SQL, and some other useful stuff. What's not excusable, however is that this book has some typos not only on the pages, but in the code. Although the mistakes are correctable with some common sence, this has prevented the book from receiving 5 stars from me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it could have been, 13 Jul 1999
By A Customer
When I flipped through the book in the store, it looked pretty good, better than the other book I looked at. (Access 97 Power Programming) Unfortunately, once I got down to using it, it left a lot to be desired. The main thing I was hoping for was a good, in depth, lesson on DAO. The examples are about on par with the ones in the online help, ie. they cover the trivial case, but don't really help with more typical cases. Also, as mentioned by someone else, there are far to many typos, especially in the examples. I didn't come close to trying every example, but there were several that didn't work as printed. Finally, why were the tables and appendices put on the CD instead of in the book where they belong? For the first day I had the book, I couldn't look at any of the tables, since my computer at work doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. All in all, it's not a bad book, but I can't recommend it at its full retail price. By the time bookstores are blowing it out cheap, it'll be 3 versions out of date, so there's really no reason not to buy something else.
