Not a bad book, sanely written

It may not be the Sybex book..but it's got nicely set up chapters that someone new to VBA programming can actually read and understand. I found new tricks in the 1st 3 chapters I could employ right away.

It helped me tremendously.

I had one evening to learn what Data Access Objects were and implement them in a project I was working on. I had tried previously to learn about them unsuccessfully. This book was my last chance. The information clicked for me. It took me no time at all to bang out the code I needed. Understanding higher level material is not easy. One author's way of writing may not make sense to you while another author's explanation will. This books works for me.

This is the book I have been looking for!

I have some experience with Microsoft Access. However, most of the applications I developed were created using the wizards, creating basic applications, with basic forms, basic queries, and basic reports. Then I needed to create some utilities and more complex applications in Access that required the programming of modules. I needed to learn this fast. I already had 3 books on Access97, including the Access Bible. I spent hours in bookstores to find what these books didn't tell me. The last thing I needed was another book on Access that would give me all the information I alredy knew. When I opened this book I found what I needed. I believe the evaluation of this book depends on what you're looking for. This is not a book for beginners. For me it was just right so I give it 5 stars.

Good Reference Book

This is the book I refer to when I am stuck. Very well laid out. You should have this book in your library and keep it handy cause you will be using it.

You can stop searching for that perfect book, NOW!

After searching for a book that would answer my most tedious questions and give me solutions to the most frustrating problems, I found this one. Now, all my questions are answered by a flip of a page or a spin of a C.D., which was included with the book. This book covers everything
