Better than my expectation,
By "bernie413" (des moines, ia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JumpStart Jr. Access: For Office 95 & Office 97 (Spiral-bound)
I had difficulty planning my database to achieve the reports I wanted and needed. This book not only breaks the planning process down into easily achievable information, but gives examples and a disk to practice on. I am very happy with the book and my results.I recommend this book to anyone who has a database with enormous amounts of data to plan for. It is easy to transfer the reading into practice right before your eyes. I can tell you my boss was completely impressed with my gained knowledge and ability working with the Access program. This book met and went blazingly past my epectations.I cannot recommend it enough.
