Product Review
Data, data everywhere, nor any thought to think? Sounds like you need some help with your information management! If you're using (or plan to use) Office 2000, you're in luck--Running Microsoft Access 2000 has the answers to almost any question you'll have about Microsoft's key database package.

Between its detailed table of contents and its comprehensive index, you'll find everything you need quickly, whether it's design, modification, use of databases, or help with the new features that allow you to integrate your Access database with the Web or other Office applications. The clear writing and illustrations help make learning and referencing fast and efficient, while the accompanying CD-ROM will have you working on examples in minutes.

Running Microsoft Access 2000 can be used as a tutorial for advanced users or upgraders, but if you're in doubt try Microsoft Access 2000 Step by Step instead. Of course, they're both from Microsoft Press, so you'll find little information on bugs or flaws--you'll need to check with another publisher for that information. But still, if you're looking for clarity and completeness, you'll find them here. --Rob Lightner

Reader Reviews
I'm probably 4.5 stars. The pluses are that this book covers a lot, esp. for something called "running access 2000". e.g. it covers a good amount of programming. It's also clearly written. My one critique is the examples, which are integral to the book. The book skips between three sets of examples. The examples have a lot of forms, and some can take some analysis. I would have prefered one example that was built up in a more consistent fashion, one one main example with other minor ones if essential. My minor critiques would be that (a) chapters are by listed techniques (e.g. Visual Basic Fundamentals) whereas a subhead (automating data entry) might have been as relevant.(b) I think he is least clear (or too terse) on designing a "good" database (like how to set up tables and relationships) (c) a "for more info" bibliography would be invaluable (e.g. a great VB book). Finally, and this is *not* a critique, just an observation, this book is NOT a reference (lord knows how many volumes a reference would take....) Comment | | (Report this)
