Reader Reviews
Users of this book need to have a thorough understanding of Access, SQL servers, and be familiar with writing VB and SQL code for it to be truly helpful. To their credit the authors have included VB procedures for use in tackling specific situations, and it's indexed well enough so you can find answers to particular questions. I liked the inclusion of the chapter on using Access as a front end for an Oracle database, since that approach is not widely discussed. My advice to readers of this book is to skip chapters 1 and 5. Chapter 1 was not well written and covers working with DAO. Chapter 5 was better written, but considering that ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) are becoming the industry standard, it seemed a bit odd that DAO received so much coverage up front. In any case, I'd treat those two chapters as appendixes, and start with chapter 2, which actually does provide a good overview of Access in the client/server environment. Comment | | (Report this)
