1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a waste of money and time, August 13, 1999

This review is from: Access 2000 Programmimg from the Ground Up (Paperback)

I bought the book because I though I was buying a programming book. But I was wrong! It's a book for a beginner level. It's too superficial. You never find a profound description of the topics that could interest a power user.

4.0 out of 5 stars Access vs. Programming, January 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Access 2000 Programmimg from the Ground Up (Paperback)

The book is very helpful for teaching non-programmers how to write applications using MS Access. Since most of the code is pre-written by MS Access, then it is not necessary to have a lot of examples of code. MS Access is a database system which now permits the integration of interfaces. Any wanting to learn how to use MS Access to write powerful applications, without having to get too detailed in code, would use this book.
