1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly edited. Code snippets are wrong., October 11, 1999

John Beale (snurd@erols.com) (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: McSd Training Guide: Microsoft Access (Training Guides) (Hardcover)

This book is very poorly edited. The code snippets are wrong in many cases and even whole diagrams are incorreclt labeled. Moreover, even some of the errata on the website is wrong. Items promised on the accompanying CD are not delivered with the book. The practice tests cover questions not even addressed in the text.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing, just..., September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: McSd Training Guide: Microsoft Access (Training Guides) (Hardcover)

Before I read these reviews I sent a email to New Riders describing the problems I had with the CD and asking if there were any bug fixes. They told me they had never heard of the problem, to try the cd on another machine and that the book was no longer covered by their support agreement anyway. The exam is still valid, so why isn't the book? Luckily I have used Access for a long time and could spot the errors, but a beginner is likely to get very confused. Use with caution.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Embarrassment, December 17, 1998

daniel_schierl@hotmail.com (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: McSd Training Guide: Microsoft Access (Training Guides) (Hardcover)

Flat out, hands down the worst computer book I have ever read.

It is so full of errors that before you are through with 2 chapters you stop trusting what the authors are telling you.

Don't buy it.
