I read a lot of books covering topics from Access, SQL Server, to VBA. This book covers all of the "required" Access topics. It covers them better than any other book I have ever seen. It then goes on to cover topics I have not seen in other books or classes. While reading the book you will catch yourself saying why have I never seen this before, or hey I can use this! It uses Jet, Transact & VBA. Do you want to build better applications, do you want to know more than the competition, do you want to be a better developer? If so, this book is a definite purchase.

This book is already my favorite book of all time, replacing "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL
by Kenneth W. Henderson, Ken Henderson". (You should get that book as well). I also just purchased "Microsoft Access Version 2002 Inside Out (With CD-ROM) by Helen Feddema" and I think that book will also be in my "top three" books to reference/read.

If you are serious about being a top developer, get this book.

I own about 30 books about Access (all versions). This book tops all of them. If you are using Access 2000 or 2002(XP) and you like to know about SQL Server (2000), trust me this is it. Try to read it from begining to the end. It's written in english language (not technical slang) and it shows you some cool tricks even for those Access 97 users. Hope to see more books from these guys. Thanks

This book is well written and easy to follow. The explanations are written in clear language and instructions are written out step by step. The book is well organized which means it's easy to use it more as a reference book. But, it is such a pleasure to read, you want want to skip a single page. This book covers both very elemental aspects of SQL, but also has much to offer the more experienced user.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to pull data out of Access tables, who has a little bit of database experience, but who doesn't want a full-on crash course in database theory and design. This is an easy book to read (yes, I read it) and it's a great reference book. I keep it right next to my desk AND I take it with me when I travel! I've been able to whip out all kinds of really useful queries. It's the only book I've found like it, and it's well-written. Definitely worth the money.
