Very well written and presented...

This is my second book on Access. I find this book to be very well written. Many users are complaining about examples that don't work. I think this is intentional on the part of the author. I look at it as an impromptu test. Any good instructor will give you periodic exams. Look at the examples that don't work as exams.

Perfect for the intermediate skilled Access 97 developer

If you understand basic database concepts and want to make your applications more sophisticated by learning VBA for Access 97, this is the perfect book. I found the Access 97 Developer's Handbook helpful, but too advanced to get much out of it. This book helped me to make use of the Developer's Handbook and develop much better applications. I highly recommend it.

Excellent for starting programming in Access 97 VBA

Switching from Cobol to Access VBA was a daunting task, but this text gave me an extremely thorough basis and brought me up to an intermediate level that a college class in standalone VB did not. I especially appreciated the detail of the compairison between using macros versus using VBA. The example of dyncamically creating a control (while my program is running) was exactly what my shop needed, and exploded the possibilities where I could go with Access. Understanding scope, passing parameters, dynamic arrays, functions, custom data types, clones were all contained in examples I could understand. I would not even waste my time writing this if this book was not top flight.

Good book if you know a litle and like to know more

This is a good book for biginers to advance to things thay would not realy lurn by doing on your own.I'm a biginging Pro Database develper and i have a lot of books on this topic. this book is not for me but it is a nice book if you like to Know VBA and Makro's, Get this book if you like to lurn the two topics ,the Macro part is a bit week but the extra's on the cd are realy good. If you are a (beginer)programer like me you will like the Develpers hand book from SybexFeel free to email me if you like

Excellent book for learning how to program in Access VBA

This book (unlike many other programming books) does not assume you already know how to program, and just need pointers on the syntax of the specific language. It actually teaches you how to program in Access VBA from the ground up, and goes right on through to fairly advanced programming. An excellent book for beginners to intermediate programmers alike. It also covers writing Access macros to a level of sophistication far beyond what is usually covered in Access books
