Amazon.com Review
These days, information is the key to success in any endeavor, and powerful database systems make managing and storing data easier. Microsoft Office comes with Access, a powerful database application that makes your information manageable and comprehensible. Microsoft Access 2000 Step by Step will get you started on the road to database mastery. Clear instructions, plentiful screenshots, and a CD-ROM full of practice files and multimedia demos of complex maneuvers make this book useful to novices while getting the expert up to speed on the new tools available in the 2000 edition. Though it's not comprehensive--programming for Access and all but the most rudimentary database creation instructions are excluded--it discusses the essential tasks users will need to accomplish. The 12 lessons cover topics ranging from the basics of forms to advanced data presentation. Each lesson gives a time commitment estimate, learning points, and a reference/review at the end for more efficient instruction. After you've worked through the book, it's simple to return and find exactly the help you need when you're elbow-deep in data and suddenly forget your next step. While it's no reference guide, Microsoft Access 2000 Step by Step will have you running Access like a pro in no time. --Rob Lightner

• Good Basic Info But Somewhat Flawed...
27 July, 2003
i think this might be good starting point for learning access but there are probably better books out there. a lot of the examples are like "click on this" "type that" without really explaining to you what you are doing or what the other options that are available would do. so you are learning how to do one thing but the menu you chose itfrom has 9 other things you can do that arent explained, so if you were learning access and applying it to something at work if what you were doing didnt match exactly what you did in the book you would still do a lot of guessing or you would need another book. the end of chapter exercises also are either too vague or too step by step (making you feel like you are doing anything other than painting by numbers rather than learning)and there are no "answers" and not even a lot of pictures of what you should end up with, so for all you know you did it all wrong. this book and cd gets you comfortable access but just seems to basic for me for anyone other than someone who barely uses a computer

• A Total Disappointment, A Worthless Book
30 October, 2003
After trying to teach Access to my students with this badly written book I had to give up. I must agree with other reviewers. The book does not come close to explaning the very basics of database management in the right order of ideas. Too bad that Microsoft does not care to review their books before they go to press.

For the beginner or just learning more about the software. A very powerful tool. Like having a personal tudor.

• Step By Step Access 2000 A Great Learning Tool
30 March, 2007
I have been using this book for about three weeks. I find the text to be easy to understand and informative. The accompanying CD adds realism to the practices by using data from a fictitious company. Also, the tips and examples are very helpful. I would recommend Sep By Step Access 2000 to anyone who is a beginner or needs a refresher to Access 2000.
