Have you looked for a good overall reference for Microsoft Access 2007? Yes, I did too. Virtually every book review on them states something such as "it's good, BUT...." and then proceeds to tell all the shortcomings. And, probably like you, I bought several that had some information, but not what I was hoping for. Well, with this book, I hit pay dirt. This book is modestly priced, virtually unknown, no fancy color graphics, but the book delivers! Look at the table of contents and you'll be impressed. I had basic awareness of Access and could build simple databases, but there was always a question on something that I couldn't do... and I had given up on many books... but this book gives good advice, some of it regarding Access, and some on just good common design techniques.

For me, this isn't a book to sit and read. Instead, it's a book to use with its extensive index and its 18 page table of contents. (Yes, the table of contents is 18 pages long.) If you have to see pictures to learn, this book isn't for you, but if you need to see basic views and can follow good documentation, I think you will like this; I certainly did/do.
