| When an application is part of the Microsoft Office suite,
it's sure to be a leader in its field. In the realm of
desktop database management, Access is top dog with millions
of users. But this is one dog that can bite. Although Access
is a powerful, relational tool with the fetching talents of
a Labrador, it's not an easy beast to train.
Still, millions of users count on Access for everything from
managing parts databases to running Web catalogs to working
as a front end to mondo SQL databases. But Access is
chockablock with annoyances---report hassles, query
conundrums, VBA bugs, arcane error messages, and more.
O'Reilly's Annoyances series offer real-world help, right
now, and Fixing Access Annoyances continues tradition.
You'll not only squash bugs and workaround Access' limits,
but you'll learn how to use Access to the max, whether
you're a newbie or a seasoned pro. Coverage includes
install/configuration annoyances, building better tables and
queries, creating forms that work right, generating reliable
and sophisticated reports, pulling in data from a variety of
sources, crafting macros and VBA code to customize Access,
and much more.
You could grab those other books for help, but do they solve
problems from page one? Meet a book of a different stripe.
The authors come armed with knowledge of the program's
quirks, design hurdles and interface snags. They provide you
with battle plans in Fixing Access Annoyances to save you
time and bouts of hair pulling.
Stop information from spiraling out of control when working
with Access and trying to make this #$@@#$ thing work! Don't
let its quirks, bugs, and troublemaking features beat you.
Who you gonna call for help? Instead of waiting on the line
for tech support or searching for the answer on the Internet
with its too many resources to find exactly what you need,
take control of databases with Fixing Access Annoyances,
your partner on database adventures.
