5.0 out of 5 stars excellent quick-start, January 27, 2003

Gareth Rowell (Springfield MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Access 2002 (Paperback)

This book is an excellent quick-start handbook for folks new to Access but with some background in databases. It will get you through all of the GUI, which is helpful if thats your weak point.

Obviously I disagree with the one-star reviewer. There are plenty of examples throughout this book and they are available either by downloading from the MS Access website, or off the MS Office distribution CD.
