Customer Reviews

Very well written and instructional

If you are looking to learn Access, this book is where you want to go. It takes you from beginner level (where I was), starting out with basic topics and terminology, right up to advanced topics. I've seen few technical manuals written so well.

ACCESS Bilble

Every year I update my library with the "Bible" series. I have essentially self-taught using these products. Easy to ready and understand.

THE book for Access

I have this book as well as the Excel 2003 Bible. Both are very useful. One of the best benefits is that a pdf of the book is included with the book. The pdf is searchable, so when I am on the road I can carry the entire book with me and quickly find the information I need without carrying the weight of the hardcopy.

Excellent reference material

Excellent reference material. Whether you are a seasoned professional or 'new kid on the block.' I highly reccomend it.

Practical Help

Given complexity and depth of an application like Access, there is no way to "know it all", nor to teach it all. Access 2003 Bible does a good job providing practical help on mainstream database programming and giving useful hints when it comes to very special requirements. So far, the book proved adequate even in directing focus to those little things that -because of very infrequent use- slip memory easily. When programming, the Access 2003 Bible is a helpful companion that should have its place next to the PC (Often it takes a bit time to find the optimal solution in the text, but if improvements were easily created, books like this would not sell.) In general it is worth its money, regardless to the skill level of the user.
