it's really easy for the beginner, who has no proir experience of access 2000. but i don't recommand this book, if you have used MS access before, since you'll find it really boring, like i did.

I found this book very frustrating. It teaches you how to use Access by the use of Wizards and full color graphics but for someone like me, who is a do-it-yourselfer, it is very limited in explaining the procedures from the ground up in design view. I found Access' own help more helpful.

I landed a temp job where I was supposed to be "good at Microsoft Access." I'd barely used it and hadn't touched the program in 7 years. I tested well just guessing on the temp agency's exam, but I thought I'd need to bone up just in case I had to really know what I was doing when I got to my assignment.

This was the book I found at the library, and I went from zero to hero in a long weekend. I did take the time to read all the marginal notes, though--I think that helped.

I'm going to buy it for my boss now that I'm leaving. I doubt she'll read it--she'll probably just hire another "expert" temp--but I think that even someone who doesn't like computers could read this book and get comfortable using the program in a week.

I found this book to be of enormous help with "easy" to follow instructions from beginning to end. Now I am ready to go on to more advanced lessons.
