Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Being a normal human being, you probably have work to do. In fact, you may have lots of work piled precariously around your office or even stretching onto the Internet. Someone, possibly your boss, suggested that Access 2000 may help you get more done in less time, eliminate the piles, and generally make the safety inspector happy.

But if you’re confused instead of organized, befuddled instead of productive, or just completely lost on the whole database thing, Access 2000 For Windows For Dummies is the book for you.

You don't need to be a nerd to get the most out of Access 2000 For Windows For Dummies. If you know the basics of Windows 95, 98, or NT (whichever one you use) and have a desire to work with databases, you're ready to go. Everything you need to know is right here, just waiting for you to read it.

Each part of Access 2000 For Windows For Dummies covers a general topic of Access 2000. Right off the bat, this book answers the lyrical question “It’s a data-what?” By starting with an overview of both database concepts in general and Access 2000 in particular, this book provides the information you need to make sense of the whole database concept. You'll also gain insight into

  • Solving problems with Access 2000
  • Designing, building, using, changing, and generally coexisting in the same room with Access 2000 tables
  • Using the Access 200 queries to unearth the answers you know are hiding somewhere in your data
  • Committing your database to paper
  • Doing stuff faster and seeking assistance from the wizards. You'll even venture into a bit of programming

Now nothing’s left to hold you back from the wonders of Access 2000. Cleave tightly to Access 2000 For Windows For Dummies, consign the Microsoft manuals to a suitable dark hole, and dive into Access 2000.

Bon Voyage!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good walkthrough of the basic functions, December 25, 2000
By Arnold Waters (Hartford, CT, USA) - See all my reviews
This book is getting a bum rap in these reviews.

Access is similar to Photoshop in a way. It's easy to learn the basics, but takes many hours of hard work and study to master.

This book is intended to get you through the basics, and it does an excellent job of it. The author gives explanations of the interface and the basic functionality which are easy to follow, without being superficial. I'm surprised that this book is getting such poor reviews while "Access 2000 for Busy People" is getting 5-star raves, since that book is superficial and devoid of real instruction, while this one actually tells you what you need to get started.

No, it doesn't give you code samples and a Northwind-style project to work on, but I recommend that you simply create your own app, or functions, as you go. I've been programming a long time (35 years) and in my experience, creating your own app is more useful than the paint-by-numbers, type-what-the-author-just-typed approach. The more you use your mind to work out your own functions, the more you really learn.

Ths style issue is a matter of taste. I've had enough dry, dessicated codebooks, thank you, and the humor in this book is a nice change of pace. Your mileage may vary.

2.0 out of 5 stars too much cute fluff, too little substance, September 18, 1999
By A Customer
My opinion is based only on shopping for Access 2000 books in a bookstore. I found the cute little jokes annoying, and the text has a lot of fluff. I like a concise book (I bought Access 2000 for Windows Visual Quickstart Guide by Deborah and Eric Ray) so I can find what I need quickly.

Still, as I browsed the table of contents, and read thru one of the sections of interest, the information was there. It just took too long to wade thru the fluff to get what I wanted.

1.0 out of 5 stars definetly tries to get too cute, no good working examples, January 13, 2000
By A Customer
I agree with the other review about too much fluff and not enough detail. The authors approach of "I am just another dummy stuggling to learn Access 2000 so we're in this together" gets real old...real quick. There are no actual examples that you work through. He wants you to set up your own database and follow his poor instructions. Book jumps all around and his filled with to much antedotal BS. Your better off with Microsofts tech manual in my humble opinion.
