This particular book is an updated edition of Korol's popular Microsoft Access book (previous editions are available for Access 2003, 2007 and 2010). If you have one of the earlier editions and have moved along to Access 2013, it would be a wise move to get the latest edition of Korol's book, too. And if you are just learning how to program using Microsoft Access, this is probably one of the best books to use to do so. The books assume that you have some familiarity with the Access user interface, but even for novice users the book is very straightforward and explanatory. If you want to automate some of your day-to-day tasks in Access, this book can help. It introduces programming concepts using simple-to-follow, hands-on lessons. The exercises are thorough and well-written. By following the explanations provided in this book, you can learn how to write and test code with the built-in Visual Basic Editor, use common VBA programming structures, code a message box, reprogram characteristics of a database, among many other useful explanations. If you are looking for help building solutions with Data Access Objects (DAO) and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), look no further -- Korol offers up tactics and techniques to help you learn. Overall, the material is presented systematically, with good examples, and helpful descriptions. I recommend this book to anybody looking to learn VBA with Microsoft Access., This book starts off by assuming the reader knows no programming, has never seen a variable or a loop. If you are in that position, and you want to go from being a non-programmer to developing full Access applications, you would be able to get there using this book. If you already know how to write code, and want to know how to work with the mess that is Access VBA, this book is still worth reading as when Korol is writing on this, she writes well. You can simply skip the first half that works through more basic programming., Kay Ewbank: This book starts off by assuming the reader knows no programming, has never seen a variable or a loop.
