It takes some effort to find the section that will tell you how to do what you're trying to do, and it's a bit frustrating to have to go to the CD for more help, but all in all, definitely a useful tool. I found this guide more helpful than "How to Do Everything in Access 2007." Inside Out is a good guide to using Access 2007.
Access 2007 Inside & Out doest an EXCELLENT job of pointing out all of the new or upgraded features. The interface is clean. It has all the power that most people and small businesses need to create extraordinary databases, yet it's easy to use. I highly recommend this book. Access is one of my favorite programs. Author of Microsoft Access 101 Video Tutorials & eBook.
If you have been using Access for a few years, and are used to previous versions, such as Access 2003 or XP, be ready for a new learning curve. If you are new to Microsoft Access, and you have never used it before, you're going to LOVE Access 2007. There are plenty of features, and you should have no problems navigating it - especially if you're familiar with the new interface in Word 2007 or Excel 2007. I have been using Microsoft Access since the early 1990s, and I have been teaching it in the classroom and online for over a decade. Less theory, more application. Even though I have been working with Access for almost two decades now, I still sometimes find myself in need of a text book to reference information.
Richard Rost. AccessLearningZone.com. I keep a copy of this book on the shelf at all times. You can be up and running with Access in just a few hours with the help of a good book or tutorial.
I was a contract database developer for many years. Personally, I don't like it - but then again, I'm not used to it yet. This book is very well written and organized. so I know Access. It's going to take you a while to figure out where Microsoft put everything with the new "ribbon" menu system.
P.S. More sample projects would be a nice addition to this book. President.
Order arrived in good time. Book has a lot of information that I already know from working with previous versions of MS ACCESS but has a fair amount of new information.
The trick is getting to it. The index frequently gives incorrect page numbers. This book is packed with information. Frustrating. Demand a version-2 of this book before buying. The book's web site(s) admit these problems but do not provide a work around. The CD comes with a broken html search tool. I am searching for another book to spend my limited dollars on.
Instead the authors have left out some important components such as database design, normalization, and naming conventions and relegated them to the CD if covered at all. It would take one year to work through this book if you indeed worked all the examples. There is a lot of good information in the book but it is sometimes difficult to find. I bought this book because of the excellent section by the same authors in "2007 Microsoft Office System - Inside Out". However I was disappointed in the book because at least 30-40% of the book is taken up by exercises rather than didactic instruction. I would much rather see them put practical exercises in a separate section at the end of each chapter or on the CD.
