4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for a new developer, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft® Access 2000 Developer's Guide (Paperback)

I've been trying to make the jump from hotshot user to developer since my job has me developing applications for other users, and I've tried a couple of Access books that just didn't cover all the bases for turning a fairly advanced user into a developer. I liked this one because I thought it did an understandable job of doing this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere if you are a developer!, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft® Access 2000 Developer's Guide (Paperback)

I've bought other IDG books and have been TOTALLY impressed so I tried this book. I've also bought several developer books for previous Access versions by other authors/publishers. I haven't spent a lot of time in this book, but some basic things like a discussion of MSDE vs Jet seem to be missing (or at least not in the index). MSDE (SQL 7 Lite) seems to be an important new "developer" development and is completely missing from the book. Even the Que "Using Access 2000" covered this topic. Buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money, June 19, 2000

Absolute waste of money. Syntax is not discussed. Examples are poorer than those given in Help function that comes with the software. Some of the examples do not work, even if used exactly as they are quoted in the book.
