Description:
Want a powerful database application, but don't want to spend the rest of your life learning how to use it? Pick up Alan Neibauer's Access 2000 for Busy People and you'll be data mining with the best of them in minutes. Tossing out the frills and leaving the deep nitty-gritty for the comprehensive reference tomes, Neibauer tells you what you really need to know to have "instant databases" ready for the boss's perusal Monday morning. Using the trademark visual style of the Busy People series, he exploits the full-color graphics and screen shots to the fullest, showing you time and again how to quickly and easily add, manipulate, and present data. Chapters cover all the basics--forms, sheets, customizing, queries, reports, and Internet access all find prominence here. There's also a chapter entitled "Stuff To Do Once To Make Your Life Easier," which is a great collection of time-savers and setup routines that delivers just as it promises. Visual and hands-on learners will appreciate the attention paid to showing procedures and encouraging follow-along at the keyboard. Whether you're jumping into the exciting world of Access for the first time or just need a refresher for your upgrade, Access 2000 for Busy People will get you up to speed with the least fuss or interruption of your other important work. --Rob Lightner
