A rare gem October 28, 2008
J. Smith (Portsmouth High School)
I have a shelf full of "teach yourself books" all proclaiming to help me use the software featured on their covers. Not all are successful and some I have even given up on after a few pages. However not this book! Its clear teaching style make it a "must have" for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of Access VBA.
As a teacher myself I know how difficult it can be to deliver information but the author has done this very successfully. The A4 size makes it possible to deliver a lesson on a double page spread; clear instructions and screenshots complement each other and the effective use of white space allow the reader to absorb the information without a struggle.
I look forward to some of the other titles planned in this series.
Absolute Must for Access Developers October 11, 2008
Mr. C. M. Hawes (Four Marks, Hants, England)
Very occasionally I come across a book that is perfectly suited to my needs. This is one of those books. I have dabbled with Access in the past without fully understanding it and was looking for a book which would get me up to speed. I bought a number of recommended books and whilst they were OK they didn't do it for me. Mike Smart's book did. It is thoughtfully written to lead the reader through the steps required to gain an understanding of Access and apply that understanding to build well designed and constructed databases. I like the A4 layout, the pace and the Film database which you develop through the book is a perfect example, including as it does, most of the design issues which you might come across.
Although the title might lead you to believe that this is a book for those who can use Access and want to move on to using VBA it is more than that as it starts at quite a low level and would suit someone who knows a little, but not much about Access. Importantly, the book concentrates on good design methodology, including naming conventions. It's worth the price for the Rules Appendix alone.
So well done Mike Smart. More please. Authors of software books should learn from his example.
Excellent book September 17, 2008
Nothern Developer (UK)
I bought this book and finished it in a few days - what an excellent book and method this is, very well worth the cost. I am a computer systems developer of some years standing - around about 20 to be truthful - and have to say this was one of the best books of software development I have read in all those years. I bought the book because I have been asked to write a system for a local charity and, though Access will produce basic systems very quickly, I want to produce an end-user application which is more intuitive, and specifically very easy, to use. This book and method have armed me with the facilities to do just that about I am naturally delighted, as I'm sure the users at the charity will be when the system is in place.
A small point to make - there are a few inconsistencies in the book, but basically these are pretty much trivia and probably very good exercises for readers to solve and be involved in the learning process, rather than anything problematic or remotely off-putting. Having said that, this really is a minor point and I will happily recommend this book and method to anyone who wants to make progress in MS Access.
worth to purchase April 20, 2008
Mr. M. Aamer (UK)
I found this book very useful. It is easy and have well written for beginners and also include standard rules for advanced developers. However there are few things which i didn't like about this book. 1. Book is in A4 format 2. Book cover isn't good for rough use. 3. Not many self learning exercises.
Also it is the only book of such kind avaialble in market.
A great way to learn Access VBA December 17, 2007
Timothy Colbourn (Lilongwe, Malawi)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book has really helped me get my database completed. I was stuck with macros that weren't working / not doing what I wanted them to do, and after consulting the online news groups it was recommended by several that I learn Access VBA. I had no previous experience of Access VBA at all (but had fairly good knowledge of Access).
The way the book is set out made it really easy to pick up VBA and the exercises at the end of each chapter are very helpful. Also the general Access tips are very helpful too.
I went through the whole book in under 4 days, so if you want to learn Access VBA easily and quickly I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Hats off to Mike Smart.
