I've contacted the support for book: "Microsoft Access 2010 Inside Out", but so far (it's been almost a month since I've emailed them) and this is the last response: "I'm sorry still no updates yet. I think they are having a hard time finding the author's team that worked on this book."
I've also downloaded the files from their site: from https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/store/microsoft-access-2010-inside-out-9780735626850 - and the error persists.
After about a month, I received a reply from Book support for book: "Microsoft Access 2010 Inside Out" [Incident: 151124-001242]. I have the step-by-step instructions to fix the issue above. It's in a Word doc format; can't figure out if I can attach anything here--but willing to send if anyone else experienced this issue. Happy New Year.
Anyone else have this experience?
I especially like the complete samples of various database(s) as well as samples and code where applicable on the companion CD. With the CD you have the ability to load all these items onto your computer and make the references available at all times.
The greatest asset on the companion CD for me is the PDF file of the complete book. As I get older my eyesight is not like it used to be and I have trouble reading many books and periodicals. Having the book on PDF format makes it very easy for me to read.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
The one drawback is the complete lack of information on using Access with "normal" websites. It goes into a great deal of explanation about using Access with SharePoint, but fails to mention that the Access Services is not a feature of SharePoint Foundation, just Enterprise. I might have been better to move that information into the CD or publish another book on integration of SharePoint and Access.
Indeed, you can use Access with SharePoint Foundation in some limited manners, but that is not addressed. Providing that information would have been useful. The reader then would have been able to continue the exercises in the book and learn a little about SharePoint integration. As it is, if the reader does not have access to SharePoint Enterprise, they might as well skip a whole section of the book.
And, I am sure, that there are a lot of web designers that would like the information as how to incorporated the web features of Access into standard .NET (ASPX) websites. This is covered in the 2003 version of the book for Active Server Pages and could have very well been upgraded in this version to ASPX pages. I do not know if this was covered in the 2007 edition, it may have, but I do not want to spend another $38 to get a few Chapters.
There are extra chapters on the CD that are not in the book, and these are invaluable.
Highly Recommended.
