It's not the easiest read, but if you're somewhat computer savvy and have an inkling as to what databases are all about; then this is the perfect book to have in your library. The companion cd and tutorials provide great practice in getting started with your first database. I've always found "The Bible" series to be the only resource I look to when I'm new to a program. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: - THE book for Access
I have this book as well as the Excel 2003 Bible. Both are very useful. One of the best benefits is that a pdf of the book is included with the book. The pdf is searchable, so when I am on the road I can carry the entire book with me and quickly find the information I need without carrying the weight of the hardcopy.
Rating: - Excellent reference material
Excellent reference material. Whether you are a seasoned professional or 'new kid on the block.' I highly reccomend it.
