Summary: Excellent, Organized, Useful - as always
Review: This is the sort of book I have come to expect from Alison Balter. It IS organized, well thought out, and well written, with tons of useful material for the beginner and intermediate developer - maybe not so much for "programmers with 20 years experience." ;-)
I constantly re-read and refer to this book, and the Enterprise version for reminders and useful pointers. This is THE primer for anyone wanting to develop Access.

Summary: Good book, but problems with CD
Review: While the Getz books may be for advanced developers, Alison's books are by far the best for beginning to intermediate developers. I found her explanations and sample code to be much more appropriate for me as an intermediate developer. If you consider yourself an advanced VBA developer then maybe some of this material is too basic. BUT if you're not, you owe it to yourself to look at Alison's books. They're great! This book is actually fun to read and it has served as an excellent reference for the Access applications that I continue to create. If you use SQL Server, you also look at her Enterprise book, the companion to this one. Don't change your style, Alison! I look forward to your future works!
