Summary: Great learning book!
Comment: I learned Access 97 pretty well from this book. I would recommend it for any beginner. I had almost no experience with Access before this. It covers just about every topic, and has plenty of screen shots and step-by-step instructions. It gives a good overview of more advanced topics as well, including 2 chapters on Macros, 1 chapter on web pages, and 2 chapters on VBA. I'll probably pick up another book to learn more about VBA.
One complaint though, the CD-ROM didn't coincide very well with some parts of the book. It has a great example database, but some instructions didn't work exactly the way they were supposed to with it. I think publishers should just put there files for download on a web site. That way they could be updated easily. Also, I like it when a publisher posts "errata" (error corrections) to their books on a web site. As far as I know...only Wrox does these things.

Summary: Great book for novice users
Comment: I purchased the Access 97 Bible awhile back and feel it is a great book for novice Access users such as myself. I needed to get up and running with Microsoft Access and wanted a book with good examples on building an access database. This was the book for me.
I felt the authors did a wonderful job of explaining complex, technical topics so that they were easy to understand and comprehend.
Unlike many technical books, this book contains many pictures and examples which helped me to understand the topics covered in the book. I did find some inconsistencies with some of the items on the CD, but a quick email to the author resolved my problems. They were very helpful on answering my questions with the book as well as other questions I had on Access.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to learn about Microsoft Access and building database in Access.

Summary: Carelessly designed and written
Comment: I must preface this short review with the confession that I am using this book without the CD.
In any case, the material is laid out in a very haphazard way and does not build up the example in stages. In addition, I have noticed that a number of the components in the example are actually incorrect! There is a general sense that the authors put no time into planning or proofreading and rushed the entire book. In some areas the explanations are so bad that they lay the onus on the reader to derive the conclusions, where the conclusions should be made clear by the authors.
