Learn Access VBA 2003 With The Smart Method

I bought this book and finished it in a few days - what an excellent book and method this is, very well worth the cost. I am a computer systems developer of some years standing - around about 20 to be truthful - and have to say this was one of the best books of software development I have read in all those years. I bought the book because I have been asked to write a system for a local charity and, though Access will produce basic systems very quickly, I want to produce an end-user application which is more intuitive, and specifically very easy, to use. This book and method have armed me with the facilities to do just that about I am naturally delighted, as I'm sure the users at the charity will be when the system is in place.

A small point to make - there are a few inconsistencies in the book, but basically these are pretty much trivia and probably very good exercises for readers to solve and be involved in the learning process, rather than anything problematic or remotely off-putting. Having said that, this really is a minor point and I will happily recommend this book and method to anyone who wants to make progress in MS Access.

I found this book very useful. It is easy and have well written for beginners and also include standard rules for advanced developers. However there are few things which i didn't like about this book. 1. Book is in A4 format 2. Book cover isn't good for rough use. 3. Not many self learning exercises.
Also it is the only book of such kind avaialble in market.

A great way to learn Access VBA (3/3 people found this helpful)

This book has really helped me get my database completed. I was stuck with macros that weren't working / not doing what I wanted them to do, and after consulting the online news groups it was recommended by several that I learn Access VBA. I had no previous experience of Access VBA at all (but had fairly good knowledge of Access).

The way the book is set out made it really easy to pick up VBA and the exercises at the end of each chapter are very helpful. Also the general Access tips are very helpful too.

I went through the whole book in under 4 days, so if you want to learn Access VBA easily and quickly I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Hats off to Mike Smart.

This is exactly how a self-study book should be written. I feel a novice would gain a lot from this, but it would help to have a little fundamental knowledge of Access and VBA before using this book. Only a little though.

The step-by-step nature and the tests at the end of each chapter are what make this book so superb as it forces the reader to learn and retain what they are being taught.

This book will provide you with the know-how and more importantly the confidence to built Professionally designed databases very quickly. Once you have experienced the joy of this well constructed 'hands on' approach teaching method (ideal for such a tool as Access) you will be writing to Mike Smart to ask him to produce books for other software design tools.

On finishing the book (and the exercises) you are ready to proceed imediately to designing your own databases with the book in the background as reference if and when you need it.

I wholeheartedly reccommend this book to anyone wishing to learn Access and VBA.
