 Simple, yet Powerful March 11, 2008
I have to say that this is not the book for someone wanting to run an administrative database for a 50k-employee company, but it IS a great book to freshen up on Access 2007. It comes with practice files to work on (if you are working cover-to-cover) and it is perfectly feasible to just go to the index and find the specific information you need. Good book :)
 Good for an overview, but you'll probably need more December 28, 2007

If this is your first time using Access, this book is very helpful. It gives a good (and very basic) overview of the different features and fundamental abilities that Access 2007 offers, without being overwhelming. It is written to the beginner. It does also hit on the upgrades that the 2007 edition offers to the 2003 program.
However, as much as this book has given me a working knowledge of Access and its capabilities, I do not feel equipped to set up my first database. It tells of a feature, and shows in very pretty pictures with very easy-to-follow steps how to turn on that feature. It doesn't necessarily give enough information for me to know if that feature would be useful to the database I am trying to build, though. So, if you are reading this book before actually building your first database, I recommend starting with this book and also having on hand a more detailed manual.
The pictures are nice, the steps are super easy to follow and very clear. It is easy to navigate around this book to find the subject you are looking for, and you can start in the the middle of the book without having to read it cover-to-cover. It just isn't all you need, in my experience.
Useful Coverage of the 2007 Version of Microsoft Access November 13, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book does a good job covering Microsoft Access 2007. Moreover, the book serves as a good transition guide for users moving from earlier versions of Microsoft Access to Microsoft Access 2007.
As does Microsoft Excel 2007 compared to earlier versions of Microsoft Excel (see my review of Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Plain & Simple (Plain & Simple Series) here), Microsoft Access 2007 offers a user interface that differs significantly from earlier versions of Access. This book does a good job balancing coverage of the features and functions of Microsoft Access with the salient features of the new user interface.
This book provides good and basic coverage of the main features and functions of Microsoft Access...a component of the Microsoft Office suite that requires a different skill set than the other components, such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, of the Microsoft Office suite.
While this is an introductory book, it is accessible and provides some basic background on databases in general. This is a good book for individuals new to databases in general as well as individuals switching to Microsoft Access 2007 from earlier versions of Microsoft Access.
