Part of the Professional edition of the Microsoft Office Suite, Access is a versatile database. In addition to covering troubleshooting issues on database design and use, this text explores Access 97's new Internet functionality and collaboration with other Office 97 products. Features of the book include: a "Top Ten FAQs" chapter from Stream International's database (appearing as the first chapter of the book); an "@at-a-Glance" page at the beginning of every chapter which sets the stage and provides an overview of the chapter's contents; the text is further annotated by "Author Notes, Tips and Warnings" - special pieces of wisdom that supplement the straight how-tos; a "Time-Saving Tricks" chapter, with the emphasis on undocumented material; and a listing of the most common error messages and their solutions in the final chapter.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Osborne's Answers! series aims to provide help desk-style support in the format of a book. This style works surprisingly well in the case of Access 97 Answers!, which serves as both a problem-solving reference and as a means to improve your overall Access skills.
The fact that Access uses tables, forms, queries, reports, and automation tools may help lend a kind of inexorable logic to a problem-solving scheme. As in other volumes in the series, Access 97 Answers! has a very comprehensive question-and-answer format, an exceptionally large topic and word index, and an "action index" that slices the book up in task-sized portions. It's an effective, well-executed scheme that offers a high degree of relevance and accuracy. If you're the sort of user who likes to learn by jumping into the software and picking up skills as you go, this book is a worthy companion to bring on your quest.

Five Thumbs Up!,
By Elizabeth (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Access 97 Answers: Certified Tech Support (Paperback)
I bought this book a year ago and never used it. After taking a class in Access and using it at work I found answers to problems that neither my teacher nor Access "Help" could answer. The format is short and sweet. It is truly for every user, beginner and advanced!

Access 97 Answers! : Certified Tech Support.,
This review is from: Access 97 Answers: Certified Tech Support (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the public library and found it so helpful for a work related project that I renewed it. I continued to use it as a resource tool and decided I needed to purchase it. It is written in plain language and will prove to helpful to all users, regardless of ones level of experience with Access. Since the book is organized in a series of support questions, I found it easy to locate the answer to any questions I had. A great value and an excellent resource.

Best way to find answers FAST!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Access 97 Answers: Certified Tech Support (Paperback)
Access 97 Answers! paid for itself the first day I bought it. If you're stuck and need an answer, this book probably has it AND (most importantly) the answers are easy to find. To help you quickly locate an answer there's a "Contents @ a Glance" page, a detailed Table of Contents, a very comprehensive index, and a self termed "Action Index" which lists questions in an "If you want to..." format. This book is a FAQ to end all FAQs. It's become an indespensible tool in my Access development arsenal.
