 Rating:  - Not as bad as others suggestThis is not going to be a very long review, but I would just like to combat the reviews others have left. This book is a step by step walk through of different scenarios. They are consistent in the fact that they do not skip steps, and if you follow precisely, you should not get too lost. Case scenarios (homework sections) can be completed by applying what you do in the tutorials, which can be referenced if you get stuck. I would say for a beginner to access, ... Read More Rating: - A good "step by step" textbookI read the reviews on Amazon before buying this book and was not excited to have to purchase this book to complete a college course. After recieving the book and actually working through 5 chapters(so far) I am happy with the book and the detail and instructions packed into the book. Other reviewers have said they get "confused" with this book. I don't see how this is possible since the book instructs you what options to select and then actually has a picture of what the result will ... Read More Rating:  - Good for a first editionThis is a good book for those new to Access and for experienced Access users who need hands-on work to get to know the ribbon. Granted, it has a handful of technical issues - out of the 7 chapters I've covered so far, I've found 5 relatively small items that didn't work the way they were supposed to. Experienced Access users should be able to figure these out with no problem. Inexperienced users will need to refer to the online Help or ask an instructor for help to resolve these. Still, if you actually ... Read More Rating:  - HORRIBLE BOOKOne star is too generous. I'd give it none if I could. I am an experienced Access user, but like most people, I am confused by the new "ribbon" design. I took a course at a local community college which uses this book. It is terrible. It is more like a comic book, with little real direction. The tutorials are confusing, and do not include basic design info, such as copying the database periodically to avoid redos if a msitake is made. Many of the directions do not work (per using Microsoft for guidance). ... Read More Rating: - Requires abstracting the ruleThis text takes you through step by step. However, formatting and technical aspects are given the same weight and are interspersed through each chapter. There is no list of generic steps to follow so you must abstract the rule when your database requirements differ from that in the text. The tutorials at the end (after chapter 4) require some skill that is not developed in the sample problems. It is unnecessarily wordy making it difficult to follow (there is no recognition that the user would have some basic ... Read More
