Reader Reviews:
Desperately needs rewriting! (7/9 people found this helpful)
This book was obviously brought out to coincide with the realease of Access 2000, and therefore was not given enough thought. Most of the examples in the book do not work and differ from the accompanying CD. As a starting point for a beginner in Access 2000 the book can be very confusing and frustrating. Needed more thought before it's release, and needs seriously rewriting before it's second realease.
Great Book that teaches Access to real people (2/2 people found this helpful)
I thought the book was outstanding. It followed a simple example from start to finish. When I was done, I had the skills to create a fairly complex program. I had previously bought the Access 97 Bible and really appreciated the many places where the differences were pointed out. I especially liked the coverage of the new ADO, Data Access Pages, and Microsoft Database SQL Server Database Engine.
Sloppy, rushed effort that poorly rehashes previous edition (18/20 people found this helpful)
I am very, very disappointed with the book, which I purchased last week. It has obviously been rushed to print. The diagrams are often difficult to read because wording in the diagrams is "washed out." If that weren't bad enough, it appears to be unedited. For one example, the book includes the statement "Once your table is saved, however, if you change a field name that is also used in queries, forms, or reports, you have to change it in those objects as well." Five pages later, a second sentence completely contradicts the first: "In previous versions of Access, changing a field name usually meant that any queries, forms, or reports that referenced that field name would no longer work and had to be manually changed. Access 2000 automatically seeks out most occurrences of the name and changes it for you."
