I am a old hand on Access programming.
I use , design and program Access since office 97.
After studying this book, I found out I just knew so little about Access.
The content is pretty easy read and excellent examples.
Every Access programmer need to have this book for their reference.

As programming books this one did actually have something I could use and gave an example of how to use it. It even gave the code.......what a thought. Most programming books offer little more than lots of pages of "stuff" you cannot use. The book took you through the process of how to code a "Message" box. This one actually did have a few things one could use. Not a good beginner book, intermediate to advanced. This book coded you through modules.....good idea. The one thing I didn't like about the book was it did not go deep enough into data base design or normalization.

This is not the book for beginners. But this is the book for users who have a good foundation with the basics of Access- forms, reports, and queries- and want to learn how to use VBA to improve their database. I'm working on a project where I need to reprogram many aspects of the database, and this book has been invaluable. I have plenty of Access books for reference, but this book is the secret weapon for Access programmers.

This book has been useful.

My only real complaint is that this book does not spend any real time talking about Access.

If you only read this book you would think you had to do everything through VBA. I can't think of too many reasons to create a table at runtime except with a query.

The book is also a little lite on real world examples.

A nice book if you are building a library of access books.

I really like this book. We still use Access 2003 at work, so I wanted a book specifically for that version and specifically for VBA. I am already a fairly experienced Access user, but was not as experienced in VBA. As anyone who's used Access knows, you need VBA to make just about anything work. I'm very pleased and have gained a great deal of experience from this book. Very good examples and written well. I'm very happy and use it nearly every day.

A book about Access that tells about the different aspects of the software as this book does is worth having on the book shelve. I recommend this book to anyone who needs as I do to have an available book to give examples as well as explain the details and tell about each area of Access databases. It's not a exhaustic concordance of Access but it has enough info to allow one to build some sophisticated databases. Not exactly for the beginning Access programmer but for the intermediate and advance programmer it would be an asset. I want go into detail but you need to read through the pages to understand the valuable resource it is. If you need reference material this book is for you.

This book has been a tremendous help to me.
I have been a basic programmer since the 1980s, but have tried to move into object oriented programming without instruction. I purchased this book as a reference. After using it for a while as such, I decided to go completely through it - front to back, following the examples available online.

I have learned so much!

All you can learn to a program MsAccess, as a reference book.
