The structure of this book is extremely intuitive for introducing and instructing new users to MS Access 2002. The tutorials are realistic and complete, allowing you to work on multiple databases with distinct purposes for fictitious companies. I found it to be complete and thorough. This book goes well with one of the many publications on DB theory and design.

I just purchased this book three weeks ago and I must say it is the most thorough and solid books I have ever used. I first heard of these books through CDI College when I was doing some upgrading of my Office skills last June, and have since taken a real interest in learning more about how Access 2002 operates. From the tutorials to the lab assigments and throughout this book, it can only enhance your skills in this once intimidating database program. I have used the Step by Step Access book as well but this Comprehensive Access 2002 takes the cake! Thanks for all your efforst, New Perspectives! Not only would I recommend this book to ANYONE interested in upgrading their office programs skills, but I plan to now purchase the rest of the Office XP series not only for my own upgrading studies but to help me in my Office Specialist plans as well. Thanks for such a wonderful and thorough book!

Not too high of a level, but keep in mind that it was a textbook in a college level class. (You don't need to be a DBA, but you should be at least familiar with basic databases) Walks you through things well enough. Covers the basics of the Access database so a lot of it will carry over to the newer versions of Access. So this could be a good, cheap buy if you want to learn more about Access and what it can do.

A+++. Super fast shipping. It was exactly what you said it was.

Book was in good condition when it arrived, arrived in time for school to begin. I am very pleased. Now if I could just get an A in the class!
