Excellent for a beginner

I mentor new VBA programmers and I have 4-6 VBA books in my library that I use for the code snippets. This book is the most useful by far for that task. The book has more code examples than any other book I have and the explainations are relatively complete. I have found a couple pieces of code that are incorrect or very poorly coded--but they are few and far between. The book covers a couple of things very well. DAO and ADO are covered in depth (these two chapters consume about 25% of the book) as well as providing good explainations of form and report events. This is a must have for the beginning programmer.

Learning procedural programming in Access

I am a clipperhead having to learn how to use access. My concern is to learn how to use access to do data conversion, manipulation, processing w/o much of the visual user interface. This applies to processing edi flat files, structuring collected data, ect. This isn't a visual book. Just good old procedural programming, stuff that clipper was great for.The book does a good job of showing how to manipulate a database at the non-visual level. As I spend more time with it, I will do a follow up. For a programmer trying to figure out how to do the backend, non user interface programming of an application, it gives you a start.
