5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Using Microsoft Access 2000 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

This book contains excellent material and practical examples. As a consultant, I got this book for myself to use as a reference.

After being ask about a good book on Access 2000, I showed my copy to two customers who both had recently purchased Office 2000 Premium. After looking over my copy, both went out and purchased this book on their own and are extremely satisfied with the content.

1.0 out of 5 stars Attempt to make presentation "hip" fails badly., October 20, 1999

This review is from: Using Microsoft Access 2000 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

This book is one of the now "must" tomes that seems to be filled with unnecessary and "hip" sentences to make the size and warrant the price. I found it entirely impossible to understand, and think the authors got lost in their verbosity.
