5.0 out of 5 stars When intuition fails, get this book!, July 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Access 95 How to (Paperback)

This book is a must have for people who are moving beyond building simple and stock applications in Access. While I have a considerable library of Access books, this is the one I reach for first when I just can't seem to get from point A to point B.

I don't think that I could live with just one Access book, but, if I had two, it would be this and The Access 97 Developers Handbook by the same authors along with Mike Gilbert.

The authors of this book have a gift for making concepts accessible. Their patience and understanding of how to take an explanation step by step and still convey the concept as well as the recipe is rare in a field which is usually filled with prose so deadly that it can only be read by Ben Stein.

The only tiny problem for Access 97 users is that all of the sample databases must be converted -- a mind numbing task.

5.0 out of 5 stars You would have never known Access could do these how-to, November 6, 1998

This is a very helpful book for solving problems and adding creative solutions. You would never imagine some the tips this book shows you. One way to impress your collegues is using some of these "how-to" solutions. The author explains the answers to the how-to's in easy to understand language. A must have if you are a serious solution provider.
