Reader Reviews:
Mainly waffle and repetition (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book could not get to the point. There are so many pages of repeating principles. Ideas are explained and then explained again as if the reader is struggling with language. There is nothing for the user to actually do, so nothing is concrete nothing is structured. It seems a purely theoretical book that requires no doing from the user, but the necessity to hold all this information in the brain. A book with a more method and more activities is what I will search for. Really disappointing
Perfect for nonnerds (0/3 people found this helpful)
I'm familiar with the old DOS version of dBase programming, and also with the visual elements of Microsoft Access (forms, tables, queries, macros). But for some reason I have avoided Visual Basic. Until now.
All the "dummies" books are excellent value for money, and Alan Simpson is well-respected in this field.
VBA explained (26/26 people found this helpful)
As an Access Amateur, I have had a few false starts trying to learn VBA. I have often been left wondering what's the point? If I needed some code I would usually cheat by converting a macro or copy and paste code from other sources. Most of the books written to explain VBA disappoint. They start off simply enough and then fly off into gobbledegook. This book has finally helped me understand the value of VBA. Unlike its rivals this book understands novices' needs. It explains the sections of codes experts take for granted taking you through them gently. Even more helpful the code contained in this book is actually useful to develop an integrated database! This is by far the best book on VBA for Access I have read.
