Microsoft Access is a large, intimidating program. Unlike Word or Excel where
users can perform basic tasks without much in the way of training, Access presents
challenges from the outset. Most users never progress beyond creating simple
tables and using Wizards to create basic forms and reports. At the same time,
all users - from managers to researchers to administrative assistants - need
to know that what they seek is embedded somewhere in their Access tables. Without
a more sophisticated knowledge of how to extract and present that data, they
are forced to rely on office gurus and overworked IT people to provide canned
reports or one-size-fits-all solutions. This book changes all that by giving
readers the skills required to etract the data they need (queries), build efficient
front-ends for that data (forms), and publish the results in an attractive and
easy-to-read format (reports). To that end, this book shuns the big Access picture
and instead focuses intently on queries, forms, and reports. This in-depth approach
will give the reader the skills and understanding he or she needs to get at
the data and prove the old adage that knowledge is indeed power.
