1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Automating Microsoft Access With Macros: For Windows 95 & Windows 3.1 (Paperback)

I was given the book by a programmer to help me develop my beginning Access and database design skills. I got hung up on page 183 with a macro that won't work (the programmer who gave me the book has been unable to resolve the problem either). An e-mail to Susann Novalis and a visit to her long out of date web site have not been fruitful. Given the number of books Ms. Novalis has published, and reviews on those books on Amazon.com, she seems to be a prolific writer who cares little for the quality of her work or the support of her readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear guide to using macros to develop Access applications, May 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Automating Microsoft Access With Macros: For Windows 95 & Windows 3.1 (Paperback)

If you want to add programming to an Access application but don't feel you can handle VBA, this book is for you. The instructions are clear, the examples useful, and the explanations of how the macros work will assist you in adding macros to your own databases. As with all books of this nature, this one has its full share of typos, but none of them kept me from progressing through the examples and exercises. I highly recommend this book to would-be Access programmers. Do note that this book was written for Access 95. Hopefully it will soon be revised for Access 97

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not really useful, except with primary know, October 2, 1998

This review is from: Automating Microsoft Access With Macros: For Windows 95 & Windows 3.1 (Paperback)

Useful hints, lots of oblivious data, no information about MS-misguiding "help", all together nice, but not THE BOOK about macros. For whom is this written ?
