Product was received in a very timely manner...important when receiving textbooks! For a paperback, it was in great shape with very little writing and no damage to the book itself. Very much appreciated!

Using this book for an online course; I think all the steps in the tutorials are very clearly explained, lots of screen shots are very helpful, no complaints so far. I am very pleased with this style of self-learning offered through this book and accompanying files (downloaded)
"Overpriced textbook, not a very good reference or how-to"

This book is obscenely overpriced for the content. I bought this book because it was required for a MS Access class. When this class is over, I will probably never open this book again. It does a very good job in walking you through the steps needed to complete each assignment and tutorial. However it does very little in explaining what is going on in each step.
For example, "To modify the calculated controls and their attached labels: step 9 - ... set the Tab Stop to No, set the ControlTip Text propery to Calculated total number of invoices for this contract..." (pg312). To this day, I have no idea why I had to do that.
When it comes time to design or modify a real database that is set up differently than the examples, you will have trouble figuring out what is going on.
Also, there is no disc included with the practice databases you will need. Unless your teacher provides them to you, you will have to download them from the web. Have fun with that if you have a slow connection.
I have a hard time understanding many to many relationships. It's probably the most complicated concepts in database design. However the book only spent 7 1/2 pages (and 1 simple example) on it. So I still don't understand it well.
Don't get this book if you don't have to. It will help you get through a MS Access class, but it is a poor reference book.
I would recomend Access 2007: The Missing Manual by Matthew MacDonald instead. The Missing Manual focuses on basic design and understanding overall database concepts.

"Monotunous"

This book was required for my Access class, but it was just plainly monotonous and boring. Its helpful though, basically a step by step guide to most development of a small scale access database.
