3.0 out of 5 stars Access 200 - for dummies, August 6, 2001

By	"tedwagg" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

Book was well organized, and delivered promptly.

However, was disappointed in that the book did not address many areas of interest for me, such as setting up security, protecting against errant/accidental data entry into exisitng records.

Book would be useful to user with very little experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book for my Family, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

My family wanted to try out the different software on thier new computer. They had a sparked interest in Access. I use Access at work on a dily bases, so after many nights of phone calls I bought my parents this book. My parents, who have never used Access, are able to create tables, queries, reports and forms with ease. All I have to worry about now is them applying for my job.
