by Bob Schneider (Author)
Access is one of the most widely used pieces of software. Perhaps more so
than any other common program, such as Word or Excel, though, many of its
users find it more vexing to really understand and use well. This is because you
can't use Access successfully without a framework in your head of how a
relational database management system works, and almost none of us have that
training. While there are many books on Access, most of them are either
introductory tutorials on how to use Access's features, or big comprehensive
references. None of them give a good solid grounding in basic database design
principles. This book fills that need; there really is no other book on Access like
it on the market. The author has written for on Access for more than seven
years, and knows how to present complicated principles clearly and in an easyto-
understand way.
