Worth every penny and some

A better title for this book would have been, "How to get the most out of Access with the least amount of programming". The book seems old but most of the information seems to apply for versions of Access at least up to and including 2000. If you have taken an intro Access course with some VBA, have dabbled with some SQL and have a real world problem to solve with Access you'll find this book an indispensable resource. If...

The best beginners programming book I've ever read!

I bought this book only because it was the only Access VBA book I could find at the time. After starting with it, I found others. I now have a library of 6 VBA books, but this is the only one I call my "bible" for programming VBA. This book covers ALL of the basics and is easier to read then any other VBA book I have ever read. My hat is off to Rob Krumm!!!!

Rob Krumm, the author, is a master teacher

I'm a dummy and I understood this book. It's well written, logical, thorough and useful.

Excellent! Great for moving from dBase/FoxPro to Access97

This book does not really fit into the "for Dummies" classification. I think they may have done it a disservice by giving it that label, as many who would benefit from it, may not recognise its potential. It presumes a previous knowlege of database programming principles and familiarity with using Access97 applications. I am making the transistion from writing dBase/FoxPro code over to playing "find the secret button"...

great book for someone familiar with access but not VBA

I really enjoyed reading this book. It contained some great programming examples that you can easily incorporate into your own databases. I hadn't done any VBA programming before I got this book and now feel pretty comfortable. Don't let the Dummies thing fool you, this book can help anyone who does Access work.
