Opis

Written by the team who brought you -Inside Relational Databases-. Bill Marklyn, as the development manager for the first two major releases of Access, oversaw the entire design and so provides an intimate knowledge of the product. Mark Whitehorn designs and builds databases but is best known for his popular and long running database column in the UK's -Personal Computer World-.
-These two authors make a perfect team. Bill Marklyn knows the product inside out and Mark Whitehorn makes the information accessible.- Neil Fawcett, Group Technical Editor, VNU Business Publications

-PCW and Amazon.co.uk contributor Mark Whitehorn is that rare combination - an expert in his field, databases, and a fine writer too, with a talent for honing a complex subject down to its essentials.- Tamsin Todd - Computers & Internet Editor, Amazon.co.uk

Accessible Access 2000 assumes that you start with no knowledge of Access or databases and takes you to the point where you can create and use a multi-table database. (For more information, see chapter one). It is written in the highly readable style of the authors' previous book; a style that was much appreciated by readers: - -Inside Relational Databases- is excellent. It is clearly and concisely written and full of humorous asides which ease the reader through an otherwise weighty topic. Probably the most engaging technical book I have read.- Paul McGowan
-As a result of ordering and studying your excellent book, -Inside Relational Databases-, it is now required reading for all my students. This e-mail is simply to say thank you for a superb and understandable publication. I've learned a lot from it, and I'm sure my delegates will too.- Ian Wilshaw
