5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent look at the capabilities and uses of Access97, August 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Access 97 (Paperback)

I have used Roger Jennings books on Access since Access Ver 2.0. I find these books to be very thorough and well written. They are designed to be both a study guide and a reference manual and I feel these books fulfill both functions very well. As long as Roger Jennings is writing books on Access, I will consider no others unless they are very specialized in only 1 aspect of Access use. This book is among the best written books on any computer topic that I have seen. I wish we had more authors like Roger Jennings.... We would definitely have less confusion in the computer industry. Definitely a best buy in my opinion

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book about Access with lots of theory., February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Access 97 (Paperback)

This book was my introduction to Access 97.As such, it did a fine job of explaining concepts of databases and Access. Found some of the examples and walk throughs to be needlessly confusing, as they were not in a logically progressive order. Took me a week to learn how to setup a workgroup for a split database on a network. Now that I know it, it should have taken me at most 20 minutes! Such a simple thing made so complicated.... Otherwise, it's a great resource.
