Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Acess 2002 is the core database application within the Office XP suite. This book focuses on the programming language that underlies Acess 2002 (and all the other office products) – VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
While you can achieve a great deal in Acess without ever knowing anything about programming, sooner or later you will want to develop applications with greater scope and flexibility, and a professional feel and functionality - this is where VBA comes into its own.
Using VBA with Acess is an incredibly powerful technique as, amongst other things, it allows you to create custom user interfaces, to automate complex tasks, to integrate Acess with other parts of the Office suite, and to provide enhanced security for your database.
VBA has a very simple syntax which makes it an ideal starting place for novice programmers and a perfect lead in to Microsoft's popular programming language, Visual Basic. This book covers everything you need to gain the confidence and knowledge to go away and begin to write your own programs. All the concepts are illustrated with plenty of interesting and practical examples and exercises.
This book is a revision of the best-selling Beginning Acess 97 and Beginning Acess 2000 VBA books, reworked to provide a rich tutorial to programming Acess 2002 with VBA. New material covers the enhanced XML, integrating with SQL Server Desktop Engine, and so on.

I was looking for a book that had theory and enough exercises to improve my fluency in use of VBA. This book has the theory but, due to an obviously extremely flawed production process, fails to include the chapter by chapter sample files on its CD that the authors claim are included. This severely constrains its overall utility. Also, as another reviewer has indicated, the authors sometimes play fast and loose with some of their explanations. I could probably overlook this, if the sample files had been included on the CD or if the publishers respected their customers enough to provide them with a page to download the files. Instead, the publishers simply indicate that they will not help title purchasers.
If you want to expand your theoretical understanding of Acess 2002 and can get this title at a good discounted rate, you may want to consider purchasing this title. However, if you want both theory and practice, this book has very little to offer.

All wrox books ship without CDs. You are supposed to download the code from their website.
Shame on you who can't be bothered to visit their site even once!

The book itself is GREAT! Lots of great concepts and tips, etc. The only problem is the book ships with a CD that does not have all of the chapter examples! On page 29 it states they provide a file for each chapter, specifically for the work they have done in that chapter. None of the chapter by chapter examples are on the disk. You have to email the company to get them to send you the disk.

I had to use this book for a class on "Database Programming". I took the class to (1) get credit for taking a class and (2) to get more help with Acess and VBA for work. This book started out excellent, good explaintion very informative and after about chapter 6 it fizzles, with inconsistancies lack of all the information. Code wasn't included on the cd. They could have shown how to build a form that was needed for the chapter. Everyone in our class was given 100 pts for two modules because the book was incomplete. There were 12 modules in this class.
I felt cheated. I don't know who to blame the School or the book writer. I want to blame the school for not using a book that has complete code/explanations.
(I have been building databases with Lotus Notes for 7 years. Acess is new to me, but programming isn't, so you know my perspective.)

It is not for beginners. It should be called "An Introduction to Acess VBA", because it is very theoretical, and the authors seem not have the knowledge of the difficulties the beginners in programming are faced, when trying to run the code by simply copying it from the text.For example, in the ulterior version refering to Acess 97, if you dont have the cursor on the name of the procedure or function you wont get it running when the run button or run menu is clicked. That is an information that a beginning book should teach to beginners. This version, refering to Acess 2002, is enlarged by new interesting contributions, like to specify records that should be reported using a filter form.I like the way Wrox books are formated, but this book miss revision in text and code.As a beginner in VBA, I can bear errors in text, but when neither the code on the book or on the CD runs, I am disappointed and I would advise only skilled programmers willing to find out why the code didn't work to buy the book.Until a full revision be done, beginners dont buy it. I am longing for a Microsoft Team Acess 2002 VBA Step by Step, or a Beginning Acess 2002 VBA by John Connell.
