4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good for simple, basic information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Corel Paradox 8 for Windows 95: Computer Training Series (Paperback)
I think that the biggest problem with this book is its title: the title is somewhat all-encompassing, while the book itself is very basic. I, too, like my fellow-reviewer in Ohio, tried in vain to find Paradox 8 books in the conventional bookstores. If Paradox is what you have, and your knowledge of database management is limited, this will get you going. If you need/want/require information on using Paradox beyond the absolute bare fundamentals, this is not the book for you. (In fact, I wonder if there is one at all.) This is pretty much the book I needed for my purposes (yes, more practice exercises, and more-complicated practice exercises would be nice), and this has been a very helpful purchase for me!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Likely based on a similar work for Access,
By A Customer
This review is from: Corel Paradox 8 for Windows 95: Computer Training Series (Paperback)
Corel Paradox 8 for Windows by Rick Sullivan (Copyright 1999) is likely based on a similar computer training manual for Microsoft's Access for Windows product. On page 16 the author states "Access displays the name.." when I am certain he should have said "Paradox displays the name.." The work was probably prepared grudgingly owing to market demand. Instead of saying "One of the most powerful features of Paradox.." he says on page 110 "One of the most powerful features in a database program like Paradox..". The book ignores concepts like aliases, event and data models, referential integrity, and OPAL which are important for Paradox but not for Access. I suppose the work may have value in hands on training because it comes with exercises and a disk. However, a more inspiring presentation is necessary.

Corel Paradox 8 (Computer Training Series),
This review is from: Corel Paradox 8 for Windows 95: Computer Training Series (Paperback)
I tried this book because it was the only one I could find on Paradox 8. The demographic that this book would help are those who have never used Windows 9x before. One entire chapter is devoted to intructions on printing (File, Print), and another chapter walks you through the Start menu to open up Paradox. Very basic material.
