Summary: Very much to the point
Comment: I usually develop custom applications against Oracle. But for one project, I needed to make Access front-end Oracle in order to support ad hoc queries. After playing with Access for a day, it was apparent some functionality was not easy to get my hands on. I was confronted with a few "how do I get from here to there" situations. This book clearly and concisely explained how to implement some common business processes. While I have a technical background, the Access user interface is decidedly non-technical and not always intuitive. This helped me in a couple of key areas. It was much easier to use than most of those dreadful 1,200 page tomes. And it covered things I couldn't find online. For me, it was definitely useful.

Summary: For anyone requiring a quick learning curve
Comment: Scott Clark and Doug Kleiber effectively collaborate to show busy executives how to quickly become proficient in using Microsoft Access software in Effective Executives's Guide To Access 2002. They present a seven step approach to designing, building, and managing a Microsoft Access 2002 database. Included is an overview of what Access databases are and what they can accomplish; what is necessary for designing and building an Access database; how to create forms and then utilize those forms to supply a database with data; how to turn data into useful information through describing how data ties together; how to search through and filter data, plus bring data from several databases together; create concise reports gathering data together and presenting it is useful, effective ways; and how to publish the data from an Access database, including making it available to others via the Internet. Effective Executives's Guide To Access 2002 is very highly recommended for anyone requiring a quick learning curve in the use of a Microsoft Access 2002 database.

Summary: Perfect for new business users of Access
Comment: This is kind of a funny computer book. For one thing, it's really well-written. (Not always the case with computer books.) For another thing, it doesn't just document the program, it explains how to use Access 2002 to build a database. (The example used in the book is building a database of donors for a nonprofit agency, but as you read through the book you see pretty easily how things would work in your real database.)
One thing I appreciated was the real world perspective. When I read about stuff like when you need to augment Access with SQL Server or Oracle and how much these options cost, I could tell the writers had used Access in real business settings.
One important warning though. This isn't a big book on Access. Think of this book as "Access for Dummies" minus the silliness and humor but plus business advice and information. This book is a fast tutorial that will get you very proficient and comfortable. But it's not a book to turn you into an Access developer.
By the way, I read this after reading a positive review in Library Journal (they recommended the Effective Executive's Guide series) and a very positive blurb in Publishers Weekly (they said these books, uniquely, tell people how to get their work done).
