3.0 out of 5 stars YOUR ACCESS TO THE WORLD, March 2, 2007

By	WILLY "MARK WILL" (WHITTIER CA) - See all my reviews

I found this title very comprehensive and a good refresher for anyone who has been away from the details of using Access (as I have). There was at least one instance where I did find an error in the supporting databases. It was a bit tedious at time to navigate back and forth between the Powerpoint slides and the underlying support database ...but not too bad once you got the hang of it.
I found myself jumping all around the various modules ...although I think there is a best order in which to take the whole course. I wish there had been additonal testing after a module was completed to test a student's mastery of the material. I also have the Access VBA module and I not sure how well it is integrated into the "main" access module. All in all The material was very comprehenive. -Mark

1.0 out of 5 stars WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, November 8, 2006

By	John A Lee III "jal3" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Excel for Scientists: A Complete Course for Scientists and Engineers (Excel for Professionals series) (CD-ROM)

Its basically nothing but a powerpoint presentation and even that if not very complete. It is billed as being for Scientists but is so simplistic in its presentation that there is nothing "scientific" about it. It just shows how to set up a simple spreadsheet.

This is truly one of those situations where you will learn as much or more by just playing with the application. This was a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
