Customer Reviews

A very well written book by a very good author

I bought Liskin's book because I needed to get up to speed really quickly on Access 97 for a 6 week contract and needed a book that would cover most of the things I would probably encounter and need to know how to do on the job. This book delivers that in spades. I don't know about the really advanced aspects of Access and am not really interested in them either as I work mostly in Oracle and SQL Server, where any large systems use these databases as the backends anyway.

I read the book, then developed a program for a legal firm.

This book does not assume any prior experience with database software. It does assume that you have a basic understanding of computers. Part I of the book is an introductory to Access 97. Part II builds on Part I and provides a conprehensive guide to Access for intermediates and advanced users. The CD which comes with the book develops an application that is usable. You are encouraged to develop the ACE (Association for a Clean Earth) application for yourself. After doing this I was able build an application that a legal firm is now using. The ACE application and the one I developed from it mainly uses macros rather than VBA language. The book introduces you to VBA programming, but you will need another book to go further in VBA.

Turns a somewhat proficient developer into a proficient one

A must read for the ACCESS developer. Straightforward analysis of commands. Truthful about the shortcomings of ACCESS. A must read for the almost advanced developer.
