Rec a good getting started book for 2000 ?
Hi all
Can anyone recommend a good 'Getting Started' guide for beginners to Access 2000? It needs to explain the basics, starting at why you'd want to use Access in the first place. It must be very hands on, with the learner learning by doing rather than by reading and memorising, have clear objectives as to what the learner will be able to do on completion of each topic, and be backed up by CD or web resources so the learner can learn by experimenting. It has to appeal to learners with a visual preference, so lots of screenshots and diagrams rather than huge blocks of text that won't get read. It should also form a step by step guide to building and modifying a simple database. What I don't want is any theoretical discussion, jargon, assumptions about learners knowledge. The learners aren't going to be building stock control systems for Nike or ecommerce sites, just simple databases for analysing complaints, creating room booking applications, that sort of thing. Does that sound a lot to ask? To me, it sounds like what every beginners guide should be, but sadly not many publishers seem to agree with me Thanks |
