Detailed information & instruction on the latest version of Access
This book teaches you how to design and maintain databases, search them for information, and build attractive forms using the new version of Access. There's also material on Access programming for automating common tasks. Access 2007 is quite a bit different from previous versions, and has a brand new interface. Once you master Access's new style, you'll be able to build databases rather quickly. The problem is that with Office 2007, you get no printed user guide at all. To learn about the thousands of features included in the software, Microsoft expects you to read the online help. The Microsoft help screens are helpful if you're looking for a quick description of something. If you're seeking information more on the art than science of Access, such as chart creation, you'll find nothing of real use there. This book excels at teaching aspects of Access that involve more wisdom than dictionary definition. This book is divided into seven parts, each containing several chapters:...

Easy to understand and written in an interesting manner.
I have a number of years of programming and system experience, but had not been exposed to Access. I decided to rewrite my business systems using Access to convert them from the Paradox system that I had used for years. Using this book and Microsoft Office Access(TM) 2007 Inside Out (Microsoft Office Access Inside Out), I have already rewritten more than half of my systems in a couple of weeks, working on them for a couple of hours each evening. Granted, I am still not an expert, but I have been able to write Virtual Basic macros, designed and completed a number of tables for my data base, forms using multiple subforms, selection boxes, and functional buttons, and a number of professional looking reports. The use of these two books has greatly shortened my learning curve and helped me to be productive in much less time than it would have taken without them.

Product Description

Compared to industrial-strength database products such as Microsoft's SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn't help that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many, in fact, that even the pros don't know where to find them all. Access 2007 breaks this pattern with some of the most dramatic changes users have seen since Office 95. Most obvious is the thoroughly redesigned user interface, with its tabbed toolbar (or "Ribbon") that makes features easy to locate and use. The features list also includes several long-awaited changes. One thing that hasn't improved is Microsoft's documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in Access 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help.

Access 2007: The Missing Manual was written from the ground up for this redesigned application. You will learn how to design complete databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry. You'll even delve into the black art of Access programming (including macros and Visual Basic), and pick up valuable tricks and techniques to automate common tasks -- even if you've never touched a line of code before. You will also learn all about the new prebuilt databases you can customize to fit your needs, and how the new complex data feature will simplify your life. With plenty of downloadable examples, this objective and witty book will turn an Access neophyte into a true master.

Comprehensive Presentation on 2007 ACCESS
This book is valuable to the beginnner and the expert developer. If you're a beginner, it presents ACCESS 2007 in a step-by-step manner so that you can quickly be using the software. If you've used previous versions of ACCESS, this book identifies the differences (some are improvements, some are still waiting to be "characterized" in my mind < grin >) between the previous versions and this new version; as a developer, this was very useful for me to quickly learn of what's new and how it's new.Lots of sample databases...and code...and tips/tricks... and a PDF version of the book with extra chapters on the accompanying CD.The style is similar to those in John's previous books, so you'll like this one if you've read the earlier ones. Definitely worth the money...the first time you need to learn "how do I do this?", it'll pay for itself in the time it would take you to learn "by trial and error".

Excellent Book
If your looking for a comprehensive training guide, this is your book! I have had no experience with access before this book, but I was asked to do a project in access, and this book brought me from being utterly confused to having a very solid knowledge of the program. I update this review as I progress through the book. I am now roughly 1000 pages into the book, and I have not been disappointed yet, very easy to read, and very hands on, the quality is consistent as you go on through the chapters, it's very rare to find a spelling error or reference error(although there are a few.)

A Fantastic Resource
I am a Super Moderator on an Access forum and I see questions about Access and Access 2007 all of the time. This book is a fantastic resource for someone wanting to find out about Access 2007 and how to use it. However, it is more than that! There are excellent reference materials within the book that would make it a "keeper" for anyone working with Microsoft Access, regardless of version.There are plenty of examples and screenshots, making it one of the easier reference books on Access to understand.I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a better "Access" experience.

Good Introduction to Access and the new Ribbon
Access is the most popular database program in the world. The reason is two fold:1. It's very easy to use. Microsoft has gone to a great deal of effort to make the program fit in with the rest of the Office system so that knowing Word or Excel gives you a good bit of the background you need to use Access.2. Access is part of the Microsoft Office package, so you probably get it when you get Word and Excell.There's always a question about just how good Access really is. And the answer is that it's pretty good for databases up to perhaps 50 megabytes with no more than a few thousand accesses a day. Above that go to something bigger like SQL Server.This book starts with a discussion about databases in general and what you might use one to do. Then,like all of the books on the other Office 2007 packages, it begins talking about Microsoft's new Ribbon interface that replaces the look that Access has had for years.The Access front...

Great beginning book, but one significant shortcoming...
My spouse volunteered to take on a data collection and manipulation project for a non-profit using Access. Here is her report:I was familiar with the basics of relational database design, and had used Access to a limited extent about 8 years ago. I had a good understanding of the data and how it would be used, so designing a robust database was pretty straightforward. My limitation was the nuts and bolts mechanics of using Access, especially the new 2007 version. I collected about 5 books on Access 2007 from the library, and this is the one really dove into, and ultimately ended up buying. I would say that if you are using Access 2007 you should be sure to buy a book specific to 2007, not earlier versions.I really like the format of the book--it is organized into logical sections that are easy to follow. I especially like the way the infomation is presented-- there are plenty of examples with adequate illustrations, but the basic ideas are well explained before...

the fog is clearing
This is a good book for a beginner. The examples are very good at walking you through the basics. The terminology/screen shots actually match what Access 2007 looks like. Some of the other books out there don't. Trust me, that creates alot of confusion. This book helps lay the foundation for creating very simple databases. If you have something more complicated in mind, you will need another book. What that book is....I'm not sure. After 2 books, I'm still looking.

A great getting started guide
This was a great getting started guide. It will help an end users Access from just starting out to intermediate. If you're looking to become proficient at macros and VBA, this is just the tip of the iceburg, but will still make a good starting point depending on your experience with previous versions of Access. It's clear examples and companion CD make learning the material easy and straight forward. Unless you're already pretty familiar with access I recommend you follow along with hands-on. There's a lot to know about Access 2007, and you won't remember much without a little practice.

Great read and reference book
Since starting a new job that uses Access daily, I have taken the initiative to broaden my knowledge of the application, as well we, VBA coding within Access. I have purchased quite a few books and tutorials with a wide array of focuses (Access VBA Macro Programming, Access Programmers Reference Guide, Access 2007 Pure SQL, Access Data Analysis Cookbook...etc). This book has been my favorite so far, basing off of how much I've read of it. What I love about this book is that you can read it like a novel to gain imperative knowledge on Access, but also use it as a reference guide in the midst of actually working. Just today, I pulled this book out about four times needing to use techniques I read about just last night - and it was very easy to find them again. Giving a nice mix of literature and step-by-step tutorials, I know I'll be using this book for a long time. With the most important aspects of Access we use being forms, reports, and queries, it's almost like this book was made...

Great Book!
When I first opened the book, I had an idea of what Access was, but that's about it. This book gives the reader a really understandable first look at how to use Access. I created two databases right after reading the book. One has been live for 11 months now, and the other 6 months. You can really use this stuff!

Develop your Microsoft Access expertise instantly with proven techniques

Let’s face it: Microsoft Access is a large, intimidating program. Most people never progress beyond creating simple tables and using wizards to build basic forms and reports. At the same time, you need information and you know that what you seek is embedded somewhere in your Access database. Without a more sophisticated knowledge of how to extract and present that data, you’re forced to rely on office gurus and overworked IT people to provide canned reports or one-size-fits-all solutions.

This book changes all that by giving you the skills to build efficient front-ends for data (forms), publish the results in an attractive and easy-to-read format (reports), and extract the data you need (queries). This book shuns the big Access picture and instead focuses intently on forms, reports, and queries. This in-depth approach will give you the knowledge and understanding you need to get at the data and prove the old saw that knowledge is power.

· Focuses on the three technologies that you must master to get the most out of Access: forms, reports, and queries.

· Avoids database theory in favor of practical know-how that you can put to use right away.

· Packed full of real-world examples and techniques to help you learn and understand the importance of each section.

· Covers what’s new and changed in Microsoft Access 2007.
