 Missing information September 16, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't think this book measures up to the previous books in the series.
For example, in Chapter 3 they talk about importing data from a sharepoint service. This takes almost two pages. The trouble is that they don't tell you where to start. The reader is left with a sense that this important stuff but s/he can't get to it. I've found examples of the same thing in Chapters 1-2. Seems like the book got ahead of the product it seeks to describe.
Basically, I've just put it aside and will wait for something better to come along.
 A great getting started guide April 10, 2007

This was a great getting started guide. It will help an end users Access from just starting out to intermediate. If you're looking to become proficient at macros and VBA, this is just the tip of the iceburg, but will still make a good starting point depending on your experience with previous versions of Access. It's clear examples and companion CD make learning the material easy and straight forward. Unless you're already pretty familiar with access I recommend you follow along with hands-on. There's a lot to know about Access 2007, and you won't remember much without a little practice.
Databases for keyboard monkeys March 27, 2007
11 out of 24 found this review helpful
Does a great job in forming the new generation of office monkeys, capable of "clicking their way" to some very basics database operations while retaining perfect blissful ignorance about what's going on. I like a "learn by doing" approach, but this is more like a "learn by clicking" approach that will leave you with no understanding of what you are doing. And even in this brainless approach, no mention is made on how to create a decent database and all that is said about relations fits in a skimpy page. Kind of sad how basic computer education is geared towards creating brainless keyboard monkeys instead of competent, creative professionals who can understand and enjoy their work and their tools. One cannot help but wonder why..

This is a good book for a beginner. The examples are very good at walking you through the basics. The terminology/screen shots actually match what Access 2007 looks like. Some of the other books out there don't. Trust me, that creates alot of confusion. This book helps lay the foundation for creating very simple databases. If you have something more complicated in mind, you will need another book. What that book is....I'm not sure. After 2 books, I'm still looking.
