More About This Book

Overview

Compared to industrial-strength database products such as Microsoft's SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn't help that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many, in fact, that even the pros don't know where to find them all. Access 2007 breaks this pattern with some of the most dramatic changes users have seen since Office 95. Most obvious is the thoroughly redesigned user interface, with its tabbed toolbar (or "Ribbon") that makes features easy to locate and use. The features list also includes several long-awaited changes. One thing that hasn't improved is Microsoft's documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in Access 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help.

Access 2007: The Missing Manual was written from the ground up for this redesigned application. You will learn how to design complete databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry. You'll even delve into the black art of Access programming (including macros and Visual Basic), and pick up valuable tricks and techniques to automate common tasks — even if you've never touched a line of code before. You will also learn all about the new prebuilt databases you can customize to fit your needs, and how the new complex data feature will simplify your life. With plenty of downloadable examples, this objective and witty book will turn an Access neophyte into a true master.

Written from the ground up for this redesigned application, this guide will help readers design and maintain complete databases, search for valuable nuggets of information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry.

    Access 2007: The Missing Manual - A must have.

    Pretty much anything with O'Reilly Media as the publisher is worth having. In this case, I started with "Office 2007: The Missing Manual," which is great for most of the general/beginner-intermediate Office 2007 users (Note: it only covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access.) However, if you're looking to do more with your Access, including some of the more powerful queries, reports, etc., then you need to go with this book. (I can only assume that it is the same with the other three programs covered in the Office 2007 book.)
    Over the years, I have purchased many books about different software, and have wasted a lot of money on most. However, and I can't emphasize this enough, I have NEVER been disappointed with O'Reilly books. If you're looking for a printed manual about a specific topic/software, the FIRST place you should look is O'Reilly's "... The Missing Manual" series. And best of all, if you need more than what that book has, it will tell which book to purchase to get it. (ex. from page 727 of the "Office 2007: The Missing Manual" - "Crosstab Query Wizard generates a crosstab query, which lets you summarize large amounts of data using different calculations. You can find more on this advanced topic in 'Access 2007: The Missing Manual.'"
    Oh, and out of 14 different criteria on which to rate the book, the only place I gave it less than 5 stars was for "Compelling." I mean, let's face it ... it's not Stephan King.
