Summary: Instructor in a CAN..er... A book!!!
Comment: I bought this book thinking it would soon bore me with it's text and I would put it away in my bookshelf. Boy, was I wrong, I could not put the book down. I had no experience with Access until I read page after page of instruction and exercises that get to the point and don't scare you off with accesive technical jargon. No VBA needed, I went as far as building an entire application without the use of VBA.
Chapter 3 in the book is probably the best for a begginer, it teaches you step by step the Access interface and how to use it in building an Access database. Screenshots galore! Alot of screenshots that keep you in tune of what the author is talking about, it is like an instructor is there showing you the concepts and excercises.
This book made me interested in Access development so I bought another great title: Alison Balter's "Mastering Microsoft Access 2000 Development" ISBN:0672314843 for more advanced topics. Mastering Access 2000 is a great beginner book to have and keep highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Access.

Summary: Mastering Access 2000
Comment: I had Mastering Access 97 and got my basics there, but got Mastering 2000 to see if any changes. These are the best books to start Access programming on a beginning level. I do not think I could ever grasp SQL on my own. This shows you how to let the program do all that for you with wizards and examples.

Summary: Great for beginners, otherwise....average.
Comment: This tome would appear at first to be a good reference, and yet for some reason it isn't. It's up to the task for beginners, but as a programmer making the switch to Access 2K from previous versions of Access and other languages, this book simply isn't the right choice. I have yet to find a book that really approaches things from the right angle for someone migrationg from other languages or versions of Access. As usual it was a frustrating time where you know what you want to do, you could do it in another language and/or system, and you bought this book to help you. Yet you still end up spending precious time using trial and Error to find the right approach because unless you do things the books way, you are stuck.
Anyway, I have kept this one handy, it's still a useful reference, but really didn't fill the gap I needed.
