Boy, was I wrong, I could not put the book down. I had no experience with Access until I read page after page of instruction and exercises that get to the point and don´t scare you off with accesive technical jargon. No VBA needed, I went as far as building an entire application without the use of VBA.
Chapter 3 in the book is probably the best for a begginer, it teaches you step by step the Access interface and how to use it in building an Access database. Screenshots galore! Alot of screenshots that keep you in tune of what the author is talking about, it is like an instructor is there showing you the concepts and excercises.
This book made me interested in Access development so I bought another great title: Alison Balter´s ´Mastering Microsoft Access 2000 Development´ ISBN:0672314843 for more advanced topics. Mastering Access 2000 is a great beginner book to have and keep highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Access.. And summed up by saying Instructor in a CAN..er... A book!!!. Currently Mastering Access 2000 Premium Edition has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
