Book Reviews of Access 2007 For Dummies
Book Review: Good Introduction to Access and the new Ribbon
Summary: 5 Stars
Access is the most popular database program in the world. The reason is two fold:
1. It's very easy to use. Microsoft has gone to a great deal of effort to make the program fit in with the rest of the Office system so that knowing Word or Excel gives you a good bit of the background you need to use Access.
2. Access is part of the Microsoft Office package, so you probably get it when you get Word and Excell.
There's always a question about just how good Access really is. And the answer is that it's pretty good for databases up to perhaps 50 megabytes with no more than a few thousand accesses a day. Above that go to something bigger like SQL Server.
This book starts with a discussion about databases in general and what you might use one to do. Then,like all of the books on the other Office 2007 packages, it begins talking about Microsoft's new Ribbon interface that replaces the look that Access has had for years.
The Access front end is very powerful. It has been worked on for years to keep you from having to learn how to program in the direct language the database engine understands -- SQL.
That's my main complaint about people who use Access, and the books written for them. Just a few pages introducing SQL and giving the reserved words for the Access (Jet) database would be a big help.
