I used this book to learn MS Access when I had to build my first database in a hurry. It was easy to follow, proceeded in easy steps, and provided clear examples. I was able to design the database (admittedly a simple one), design a form for entry and recovery of records with a few simple calculations and design a couple of simple reports in a few days.



After that, if I wanted to do something new with the database, I could use the book as a reference.



I found this to be a very good introductory text.
