It should be known that this book is not for new Access users. However, it can make a beginner into a professional developer.
If you are at the point where you would like to start manipulating the controls without using Access' built-in functions and wizards, this book will serve you well.
Prior to using this book, I have only had a little experience with VB/VBA. After having used this book for a couple of months, I have gone from being fully dependant on Access' built-in queries/controls. Now, I do almost everything in the code-window. My code is no longer "spaghetti".
I like this book because it is not organized like an encyclopedia where the controls are given an over-simplified explaination in alphebetical order, nothing is left out- it's not a beginner's manual; however, little time is spent reviewing the basics. It is clearly written, everything is well spelled out for any learning ability. This is way better than all of the "Complete" editions.
You might consider yourself an advanced user until you see this book. It is humbling, you will realize how much more there is to learn. When you have read it over, you will be surprised how powerful of a tool Access can be.
