Summary: Great learning and reference guide.
Comment: I knew nothing about designing databases before picking up this book. This book is fantastic, it lays out the information in a way that is easy for people who are not computer savy to understand. It covers essentially everything you want to know about tables, queries, forms, reports and macros but only scratches the surface of modules/VBA. If your looking for a book that covers VBA this is not the book for you. After 3 months I not only learned Access but built a pretty savy database at work. I definitely recommend this book to all beginners and people who just want to improve their database design. Overall very pleased with the book.

Summary: Very Good Book for Beginning to Intermediate Developers
Comment: I have read this entire book, as well as the 3 "bonus chapters" included on the CD-ROM (in MS Word format), and (suprisingly) truly enjoyed the process. I found it to provide an excellent step-by-step methodology for developing Access 97 applications, with each of the major aspects (tables, forms, reports, macros, and modules) laid out clearly with beginning and later advanced sections and chapters. There are lots of examples to illustrate each aspect or feature, which I believe is a great way to learn. 1 minor flaw: nothing specific on the rules of data normalization (kind of brushed over with some ideas in the Pet store examples), which really is the foundation for all good database development. Overall, an EXCELLENT book for someone who wants to know everything about Access 97 without getting into serious VBA programming (which is where I'm headed now). If Mr. Prague and Mr. Irwin come up with a book on that, I'll buy it without second thought.

Summary: Errors in the text and unclear definitions
Comment: I am using this book as the text for an internet class on Access and am very disappointed in the clarity and quality of the book. The database names on the CD do not correspond the text. Explanations of concepts, for example the different types of relationships, I found to be more clearly defined in the Microsoft manuals that come with Access. There are places where the text refers to an example that does not correspond to the text (e.g. pointing out that an option must be selected and it is not checked in the example).
There must be a better written book!!!
