 No sample database by which to test the code samples in the book July 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The TimeTrack.mdb database that the authors reference throughout this book is not available from the Safari publishing company website. A disk did not come with the book, either. Good luck testing out the code samples. Perhaps, at best, you can cobble it together using another sample databse.
If anyone knows where to get the sample database for this book, please let me know! I e-mailed the publisher but did not receive a response. Thanks!
Very poor book April 4, 2007

This book was very boring, and after reading a few chapters, I still only know the same things I knew before reading this book (which is basically nothing). My husband and I were very disappointed that we lost our money on such a retarded book.
 My Favorite VBA Book So Far November 10, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book has become my favorite VBA reference book so far. It's great for those with an intermediate knowledge of Access and little-to-no knowledge of VBA. It includes practical examples of how to use the code provided in each lesson and concise explanations of why/how the code works.
The sections on SQL Structure and Syntax and If/For...Else Statements are very informative, and easy to understand.
I've also bought the "Forms, Reports and Queries" book of this series, and would highly recommend them both.
 Information at the Expense of Instruction May 31, 2006
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
As far as I can tell, this text is full of useful programming information for working with Access but I have not used much of it. It presumed more knowledge on my part than I actually have. I was able to read over it and get the basic concepts for a fair amount but the actual ability to use the information has not developed. I got the information at the expense of instruction.
The biggest problem is the lack of a disk with the examples. Supposedly, you can get the examples over the web but I most often do this type of stuff on the laptop from motel rooms in out of the way places with no or very limited access to the net. For me, that was an unworkable solution.
Even if it had included a disk, I don't think I would have liked this text too much because of the explanations. As I mentioned before, they seem to assume a level of knowledge on my part that I do not yet possess. It almost seemed as if I needed to know how to program in VBA before I could learn to program in VBA.
On the plus side, the screen shots are not generous in either quantity or size but they are definitely readable. This far surpasses the norm for most computer instruction books in my experience.
Others with more experience may well get more out of this book than I did. I plan on keeping it around in the hope that I may grow into it but, as yet, its usefulness has been minimal.
The right book July 20, 2005

This book worths my money. All I need to do is to learn the syntax for Access VBA. I already has novice level of general programming. This book has clear and simple explanation of Access VBA syntax through its practical examples.
If you want to learn practical and useful syntax for VBA this is the right book for you.
