Customer Reviews

One of the few Dummies books I liked.

I was a rank beginner in writing code when I got this book. The other Access books I looked at either had one small chapter on writing code (Access Basic) or assumed that I was an experienced programmer. This book helped jump start my understanding of how Access Basic works, how to navigate through the code windows and debugging facilities. It also gets into writing macros more effectively. A great jumping-off point for understanding programming in Access.
