I have to admit that I’m a bit intimidated by Access 2010. I see potential usages, especially with automating some of my database tasks. I like the idea of customizing forms that reduce my database entry workload and make presentation easier. Still, basically, I’m comfortable with Excel and picked up the new aspects in the 2010 edition pretty easily. I’m not sure if I need or want to rebuild my entire system using Access.

Truth be told, I find some of the aspects of Access somewhat confusing. For instance, the concept of macros and trying to build queries that do what I want them to do. Therefore, I was quite pleased to see that Using Microsoft Access 2010 spends quite a bit of time explaining macros and building queries.

I’ve been working through the Let Me Try It exercises in the book. Little by little I’m getting the basics. I’ve managed to build some working examples. Now, I just have to figure out how to relate that to my own work.

while not the most profusely illustrated book, I found this to be the deepest, most useful book about MS Access as I performed database building. I've added it to my read list for future reference.
