Summary: An excellent choice to cut your teeth on...
Comment: I was a little shocked to see the average review for this was a 2...
I am an aspiring database designer. One has to start somewhere, so I set off to learn Access. I had already tried the O'Reilly books (too much) and the Dummies books (too little). I found the Sam's book to be a good middle ground for someone who knows a little about computers, but mostly knows that they need to learn a lot more. The Sam's gives a good general overview about Access queries, forms and reports. It walks you through the program in a logical order, in a realistic length of time. It has a good introduction to Access SQL and VBA. It remains one of my primary resources for Access.
If there is a failing to the Sam's Access, it's that it needs more real world examples (it has some, but it could use more). For that, buy the O'Reilly Access Cookbook.

Summary: I want money back..
Comment: I am a beginner of this program, and after a few hours I just gave up reading this book. Attached CD is read-only, while it tells me to input some data(hmm..can I do that??!). The book talks about some tables which "are in the CD", which aren't, no clear single line explanation of what the normalization is (read entire one page worth explanation, and I still don't have a clear idea what the definition is.)etc. Authors' habit of saying, "if it is necessary," "if you have some time," "if you're familiar with.." really bugs me.. - what is this? Are they too insecure to give readers an instruction?? I noticed it soon after I started reading the first chapter. I should have looked reviews here before purchasing this book. I have to say I abhor reading this book. I won't get another books from these authors.

Summary: Very disorganized book
Comment: The examples are HUGE - I have always thought that some straight simple examples would be nice. The very first DB you make really has to be taken off of the CD since it has 8 tables.
The book does not really improve after that since the info is very scattered. For instance the FORMS chapters are 5, 10, 14. In between is a ton of other stuff. All of the form examples are HUGE also.
I imagine this book will be a nice reference book once I know what I am doing with Access. However with the long examples I found myself short on time to complete them.
In this books case, teach yourself in 21 days really means 21 solid 24 hour lessons.
