Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Helped Me
This is well written and helps me bridge the gap between what is necessary and what I wish was intuitive.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Contractions are not helpful!
This book contains a wealth of information about Access 2007. There are many hints and kinks that a seasoned Access programmer will find helpful. That is the reason for 4 stars ... BUT ...

This is the first book by O'Reilly press that looked like a college student who failed English 101 was the editor. The use of contractions throughout the text is driving me batty. Especially when the writer AND the editor both get it wrong. For example, speaking of the importance of using a primary key field in order to avoid duplicate records ... "you can't have two identical records. (At worst, they'll [sic] be two almost identical records" ... ) "They" had no action on the records ... the correct contraction is "there'll," which is horrible grammar. For this I would have given 1 star.

OK, enough picking at an otherwise good book. I am still reading the book and learning about the many tricks of Access 2007. However, I am almost ready to torch the book for poor readability, all for the sake of being 'familiar' with the readers. Skip it and write a technical book with proper grammar.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yep, I Love the Title AND the SERIES!!
I have always said that the Missing Manual Series is the best software trainer out there. O'Reilly bills the series as the missing manuals for the software programs. They are. They are great and any review that says otherwise is wrong, And, no I don't have anything to do with the publisher!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant guide
This is one of the best text books that I have ever used. For a novice or an experienced user, this book will help you to explore the various tools available with the 2007 version of Access. And with the downloadable examples, it is very easy to see how the explinations work on a real system. If you're going to be using Access 2007, I would suggest having this book near by.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Detailed How To Manual for Access
This book contains information on may aspects of Access from basic to advanced. It saves you having to Bing or use Microsoft help when you try to figure out something new.
