Using Access with VBA, not Access Mar 05, 2001
By JRK
"jkunz"
This book is intended for VBA beginners, not Access beginners. Make sure you are comfortable using Access (User level suggested Intermediate/Advanced) before thinking about this book. When you want to take your Access databases to the next level with some programming (for example, automating the process of running 4 update queries with all alerts turned off), then it's time to grab this book. Readers with some programming background will find this book much easier than those without, but if you have patience and time anyone can learn from this book. If you have VB/VBA knowledge already, including some ADO/DAO basics, you might find this book too boring or easy. Jump up to Access 2000 Developer's Handbook Set, ISBN 0782123716.

 lots of information - but horribly presented Apr 23, 2002
This book has frustrated me to no end. It jumps from subject to subject with no warning. For example the book explains a little bit of the architecture, then says that an "Access Project" has a different architecture. I thought I was working on an Access Project, oops, much later that I discovered that, an Access Application is not the same thing as an Access Project. Thanks for telling me. And for a good portion of the book, there is no sample code. You learn things by chance, and heaven help you if you try to find something in the index (for example, "subform" is not in the index). Did I learn? Yes. But only because I was taking over a project that had already been written, so the book supplemented the code I was deciphering. Admittedly, part of the problem is in Access itself - too much behind the scenes processing which requires no code. Access also has a number of different interfaces ... I had hoped this book would explain when to use which one and why. No such luck.

Wondering why this book is so complicated? Apr 24, 2000
By Darko Gereš
For a some time I've been looking for a book which will be simple enough to help me start programing with VBA for Aplication. When I found this un my local bookstore, I hoped it will be the one. Well it's a pretty good book. It cover most of the topic's needed for programing in VBA. But it does'nt have one thing which is most inportant (in my opinion). Like a most of other books on this subjects, this one explain items from VBA for aplication in randomly select order. So it does'nt show you how to start building an aplication from very begining, and it does'nt help you if somethings go wrong in your leyerning from your book. I hope in future this writer will give more space to explanations about possible mistake that one can make in programming.

 Thank goodness for Susan Norvalis May 25, 2004
By Kelvin Dickenson
This book really stands out from the crowd. Most VBA texts are written by great programmers who are terrible teachers. Not in this case - Using VBA to unlock the power of MS Access is thoroughly and clearly explained - from concepts such as database design and objects to JET, DAO/ADO and beyond. The author shows how to do everything that you can do with Macros, how to do many things that you can't do without VB and then how to most efficiently do all of them! Most useful is the clear way in which the book shows how to perform tasks efficiently in interactive (Forms) and automated (DAO/ADO Recordset manipulation) ways and when to choose each- this book will remain an invaluable tool in my library and be referenced often.

Excellent! Dec 09, 2001
By Pedro Martins
I am a self taught Access developer, and i was looking for a good Access VBA book, that could help me with all those doubts and problems that come along when we try to take it a little further...
Well... this is the book! The author explains everything in a very understandable way. It was really helpful and, certainly my best buy in the last months...
