The book provides an excellent understanding of Access97. You read and it seems you haven't learned much, yet you can do alot. The split up on each day makes the reading process easy and on a schedule. The book also covers the basics which form the complete advanced sections of Access97. Finally, the book covers the program well and allows the reader to know what has to be done and then has the option to use help to figure how to do it.
I have learned so much from this book. It is unbelievable.

The title tells it all. Paul Cassel really can teach you Access 97 in just 14 days.Cassel's style is challenging and yet approachable. But, then, so is his subject matter.In the past, I have always been able to "play around" with programs and learn how to use them. Not with Access. When I tried to experiment on my own, I just seemed to fumble about.Then I purchased the Cassel book, and everything has changed. I already have a database of research going, with lots of tables, forms, queries, and reports, etc. All for a mere hour or so a day for 14 days. Just as the title promises.Super book. Well written. Very much worth the price. What more can I say?Thanks,Martha Casey [email protected]

As an Engineering Leader, my time is of a high commodity. I found this book to be all inclusive in helping me achieve the databases I desired in managing personnel, projects and tasks. the book is an excellent source for a novice access user in bringing them up to speed in understanding basic VBA programming and tips in creating databases. The beginning chapters are a little slow for intermediate users, but they are helpful as a "refresher" course. The remaining chapters are excellent and well laid out in understanding the material. I found that by reading the book and creating a specific database that would address my needs simultaneously was the favorable approach. Overall the book is highly recommended for novice to intermediate users. I also recommend .."Access 97 VBA programming" for any novice looking to further there knowledge. Both these books have allowed me to create databases that once were well out of my capabilities.
Very Good Introductory Book; A great value

This book is a very solid intro to Access 97. It covers most of what you would hope to be covered in a text of this depth. The examples are easy to work with and demonstrate principles clearly. The text does not come with a CD, which no doubt kept the cost so reasonable. Example files that would have been on a CD are available for download from the web site, but are not mandatory for working the book examples. One problem is that some of the example files are not correctly set up to correspond to the chapter exercises. It is a shame that there is not a Teach Yourself More... follow up text to address topics like VBA and others not mentioned. Until that time, try Beginning Access VBA Programming by Smith and Sussman as a place to go from here.
