When folks set out to create a database, they often use Microsoft Access as their development tool simply because it's right there on their computers. Despite its membership in the Microsoft Office family, Access can quickly overwhelm the user with its strange terminology and complicated interface. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Access 2000 untangles this powerful application and enables you to create useful data-centric applications.
Author Joe Habraken begins by explaining what databases are and how they are used before pointing out the key elements of Access's user interface and Help systems. He then shows you how to create a database using the Database Wizard and the templates included within the software. He also delves into custom table creation and the mechanics of entering data into tables. Along the way, readers learn technical details on sorting and filtering records and how to insert new fields into an existing database.
The real fun starts when The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Access 2000 discusses the process of establishing relationships among multiple databases and creating forms to display information attractively. Habraken orients the reader to queries and reports before touching on macro and module programming, interface customization, and Access's Web-publishing capabilities. --David Wall
