Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2000 Development is a well-written, well-paced, and comprehensive tutorial on virtually every aspect of the new Access 2000, written for any beginning or intermediate developer. With its notable clarity, this book can put basic Access development within reach of many users. As an introduction to or a review of Access and database basics, Mastering Access 2000 Development provides a really strong mix of clear explanations (for tables, queries, and reports) that will let you get up and running. One of the best features of this book is its patient introduction to the world of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming. (If you've struggled to use VB/VBA before, these sections can make successful programming accessible to you.) The decidedly low-end focus of this book doesn't mean that it skimps on more advanced features. Besides showing off the strengths of Access when used with SQL Server (including stored procedures), "black-belt" sections of the book look at Web support and the new Data Access Pages for delivering Web content. Sections on deployment and optimizing Access applications will be invaluable to any working Access developer. Overall, it's the author's skill at explaining the fundamentals clearly that makes this a strong choice for readers seeking to get more out of the new Access 2000. Mastering Access 2000 Development is perfect for the Access user who wants to break through to successful database programming for the first time. --Richard Dragan Topics covered: Access 2000, database basics, queries, reports, form design, VBA, scaling Access to SQL Server, ADO, DAO, client/server, deployment, Microsoft Office Developer (MOD) tools, Data Access Pages and Web support, and advanced features.

A little disappointing

I bought this book for a specific problem that I was researching. The book had a free excerpt that led me to believe that it would be very useful. However, the information in the book was the exact same solution presented in the MS Access help.
I am sure it has some good information but I was a little disappointed that I spent money on it.

As a beginning programmer with MS Access, I've found Alison Balter's Access 2000 Development book to be very good. It provides enough background information to help understand what's going on, good examples both in the book and on the CD.
If a reader has zero programming experience, it might be a tougher read. I have some C language experience which helps me get a grip on what's going on.
Definitely worth the money. Book is getting dog eared & dirty already.

I am not an Access expert, but not a novice either. My background is as a senior mainframe developer and system analyst. This book was perfect for my middle of the road skills. It has well written outlines on all the major Access topics, and has follow up chapters for more advanced users and applications.
The index is well defined and finding information on specific topics has been very easy. When I had trouble with a particular point, the author was kind enough to reply to an email and point me in the right direction.
I would recommend it for your anyone who needs a good reference to their Access library.

One of the Best Access Books

I have to say that this book presents the subject matter in a clear manner. I've been working in Access 97 for several years and needed to get up to speed on Access 2000 and 2003. This book fit the bill nicely. It does have a relatively small section on ado but then again this is not a book on ADO but on Access. I would strongly recommend this book to developers who have had some workin g experience with access. This book has something for everyone, from novice to advanced programmer. I heartily recommend this book.
