Comprensive, well-researchedby DatabaseSkillsConceptsPro

January 21, 2009: The text is highly accurate and its screen shots clearly match the real application. Having taught from the book (written by the same authors Adamski and Finnegan) on and off for 8 years, the examples cited and assignments given have been classroom tested many times over. This textbook, as with many undergraduate texts, are not suitable reference guides. Conversely, IT reference guides rarely make ideal textbooks for novice computer students. What the text lacks in conceptual innovation, it compensates with a thorough mechanical formation of solid Access usage skills for the novice database student.
HORRIBLE BOOKby Anonymous

April 26, 2008: The examples contain many errors. It is extremely difficult to read. The colors resemble a comic book. Much of the print is microscopic and very difficult to see (and I have 20:15 vision). It is impossible to use as a reverence guide because the sections aren't clearly labeled, the index is a disorganized collection of terms, the instructions vague and missing steps, and the pages seldom match a screen view. This book was suggested as a way to transition form 2003 to 2007. It is a waste of paper. I understand it is used as a textbook, and my sympathies to students who have to use a book that was obviously rushed to publication without adaquate review. The exercises seldom match the examples and call for leaps of intuitiveness that a beginner is unlikely to have acquired. It is the absoulte worst book I've ever seen for Access.
