Summary: Absolutely Serves It's Purpose
Comment: As the title of my review states, this book is ideal if your situation falls into the following category: You have a solid amount of skill with Access (without VBA) such as action queries, subforms/reports, option/combo boxes, relationships, SQL, etc. You understand Access and can already build fairly advanced applications, however you want to goto the next level. The next level is VBA and here is where you go "under the hood". You will find out how to do basic procedures and how they work. You will be shown the light as to why event procedures are so critical to more advanced applications. After reading this book (and implementing what you learned into your own applications) you will be well prepared for intermediate level books. The book is extremely well written and is careful to make sure that the reader does not fall behind. I felt like the author actually cared about the learning process, and didn't just write a book to prove his own expertise (like many others). In summary, if you already know Access (sans VB), and would like to go "under the hood" to be on your way to becoming what I would consider an intermediate developer (i.e companies actually pay you [albeit moderately] for your Access skills, however it is not 100% of your job description) - buy this now.

Summary: The jump start you need to begin learning VBA.
Comment: Although this book is not intended as the most authoritative and complete refence on VBA known to exist, it can teach a beginner what in the heck VBA is and how to use it. When I picked this book up, I had previous experience programming in an old DOS database and knew the basics on the features of Access -- but I had no clue what VBA was or what it did. In working though the materials, somewhere along the way, the light came on! Each chapter in this book is a lesson that walks you through some very important VBA techniques in a logical, organized way (you don't get lost). Unlike some books that just throw some sample code at you, in this one you are working with real life examples and Mr. Callahan takes the time to explain in detail why you are doing what you are doing. It teaches you how to actually apply your knowlege. The most dissapointing thing about this book is that Mr. Callahan did not keep writing and teach other programming techniques.

Summary: DON'T HESITATE
Comment: Don't hesitate to buy this book. I bought this book as part of course being taught on VBA. Don't be scared that it is for Access 97 because the visual basic portion of Access has not been developed any further. This is the book to have. I am now a full time database programmer for a state agency and this is my desktop reference. BUY THIS BOOK!!!
