I don't think this book measures up to the previous books in the series.
For example, in Chapter 3 they talk about importing data from a sharepoint service. This takes almost two pages. The trouble is that they don't tell you where to start. The reader is left with a sense that this important stuff but s/he can't get to it. I've found examples of the same thing in Chapters 1-2. Seems like the book got ahead of the product it seeks to describe.

Rating: - the fog is clearing
This is a good book for a beginner. The examples are very good at walking you through the basics. The terminology/screen shots actually match what Access 2007 looks like. Some of the other books out there don't. Trust me, that creates alot of confusion. This book helps lay the foundation for creating very simple databases. If you have something more complicated in mind, you will need another book. What that book is....I'm not sure. After 2 books, I'm still looking.
