Summary: Wonderful Tool for Access Users
Comment: I puchased the 1st book and the Special Edition and would recommend them to anyone. Yes, they do have a lot of information and if you are not sure what you are trying to accomplish you are going to be lost. I personnally would never purchase any of the "Dummies" books because they are confusing and I have never found they very helpful. They really are for dummies. If you have a high intelligence and can understand what you are reading then I would recommend that you purchase one of these books. Depending on your version of Access you will have to choose one that applies. They have been very helpful to me and since I have never taken a class in Access and am self taught they have helped me design the 3 databases that my company currently uses in our business.

Summary: Great book. Helps you design and structure your database
Comment: I found this book extremely helpful in building a database from scratch for work without any prior database experience. What separates this book from the rest of the books for beginners is that it goes well beyond the "and you press the wizard button to create a table" and actually gives you the fundamentals needed to design and architect your database. It shows you how to organize your information to get the most out of the relational database capabilities and minimize duplication of information. It shows you via examples what the capabilities of Access are. The book allowed me to have the basic framework up and running in under 3 days and then build on it modularly. If you want to follow the main design example provided in the book (Jennings designs a database throughout the book) you have to read the book sequentially. I have no time to read 1000+ pages, however, the index and cross references have been extremelly helpful in taking me to the exact point where the author is dealing with my particular problem so I can get a quick answer. No book has a magic wand to teach you a subject but this book is as useful as they come.

Summary: Superlative book for beginner to intermediate users
Comment: If you are learning Access from the ground up this is a great book for you...this is not a VBA programming guide. If you want to learn VBA that is an entirely different topic. However, there is no one Access/VBA magic book that can cover everything because the Access/VBA universe is so large.
I have used Access and VBA for 6 years and this by far covers more topics than most other books do. I use this book as a reference on occasion and it is often borrowed off my shelf by the end users here at my company. Although there is some VBA code and advanced items in this book I would recommend this book to beginners and intermediate users of Access. The book covers: tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and some VBA code (modules). There is also a little bit of Internet programming with Access 97 but that section is out-of-date with the advent of ASP.
Bottom line is this is an excellent choice for a reference book for more advanced users and an even better choice for people looking to learn a lot about Access 97.
