Product Description
What is this book about? Written by an Access programmer with more than 10 years of VBA experience, this is the perfect guide for Access users who are ready to take their databases to the next level, or for programmers who are new to Access or VBA. Veteran Access developer Denise Gosnell shows readers the ins and outs of Access VBA and provides plenty of source code, and fully developed sample applications to guide you along the way. Not only do readers learn to build “stand-alone” desktop applications, but readers also learn how to integrate Access applications with Web Services, and SQL Server.

 Frustating Book February 12, 2008

I am relatively new to programming, but am very familiar with Access. I picked up this book hoping to improve my ability to customize my Access databases, but I've decided to return it to Amazon. The reader is asked to repeatedly try out examples, which is typically followed by a brief, superficial explanation of the code. Often, some of the more complex calculation are simply not explained!
If you are new to programming, do NOT buy this book. If you have any experience with Visual Basic programming, this book MIGHT give you some insight into how to navigate the Access programming environment, but even then it probably will fall short.
 Great Book! January 20, 2008

I took program courses years ago in college and was a very good programmer. However I never ventured into visual language because I found them confusing. This book will get you started. It gives you all the basics. If you have done old basic you need to get past the terminology but the example explain themselves. It give you skill but like any art you need to put it on the canvas. Great book!
Excellent book! November 15, 2007

I've never coded in VBA. I've always relied on the macros in MS Access to do everything I needed to do. However, I picked this book up to try and learn a few new things. By the time I got through chapter 6, I was writing VBA code like it was nothing.
Incredible text written so the novice user can understand it with excellent hands-on examples and exercies both provide a tremendous self educational experience for the most basic of VBA programmers (such as myself).
 Ms Gosnell should have wrote the advanced book April 27, 2007

it's a great start FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A LITTLE VBA. I highly do not recommend if for beginners. If you know nothing about vba, variables, sub routines, functions etcetera, I would suggest you start with a Steve Roman book on VBA for Word. The book is a great concept book for beginner understanding of n-tear programming in vba. As far as doing tricks in vba, there are very few examples in this book. The wrok advanced vba should have been the beginner book (to some degree.)
Great Beginner to Intermediate Book on Access and VBA May 23, 2006

I must highly recommend this book by Denise Gosnell. After skimming through about 20 books on the subject at a super bookstore in Melbourne, I decided this book was the best by far. I must admit, I am beginning to become slightly discouraged at the amount of books out there - especially on PHP and MySQL that I decided to bite the bullet and learn Access and Visual Basic programming.
This book gives you great examples and you CAN go to any chapter depending on your current skill level without being thrown on a tangent of fancy techniques and confusing explanations. All I want in a book, is someone to TEACH me through step by step explanations and well thought out sample exersizes. Denise has a wonderful ability to write and keep up your enthusiasm to keep perservering. I highly commend everyone give this book a go and you will see what I am talking about.
Thank you Denise, I look forward to reading some more of you work in the near future.
