3.0 out of 5 stars The Access VBA book that is hard to swallow, Mar 15 2002

This review is from: Access 97 VBA Programming with CDROM (Paperback)

This book is good, but it contains too much information. The book is overkill on Access VBA. More information than anyone can handle. The code examples can be too long. You can learn, but you have to stay awake and remain alert. If not you will fall asleep. I don't recommend it to beginners at all. For all beginners out there, stay clear of this book. If you don't you might end up hating Access VBA. I thought the book could have been written a lot shorter. I recommend this book to experienced users who want to read a few pages a day.

This review is from: Access 97 VBA Programming with CDROM (Paperback)

It seemed they assumed more than the beginner knows. Their explanations on why the code works did not provide a clear enough explanation for me to understand what is going on and left gaps that I am still stuggling to fill. Also: it would have been nice to better explain how you decide what variables are required and how you decide the syntax of the commands. All in all, the books starts out ok but then leaves the beginner in the dust as it continues. I would recommend the Step by Step book over this one.
