Overview

Microsoft Office Access 2007 Quick Tips Guide - WOW! What can we say, probably the most comprehensive and daring Quick Tips Guide in our range to date! This guide is a complete meal all in one. Microsoft Office Access is traditionally a product that only the die-hard veterans attempt to use and understand and only after flicking through pages and pages of badly written books with titles like Beginners Guide to - , Access for - and All you need to know about Access - Our existing series of Microsoft Quick Tips Guides get you straight to the point and allow you to get the job done without having to trawl through pages and pages of blurb. This brand new title certainly doesn't let the side down. The guide is a complete step-by-step walk through of each of the key features and functions of Microsoft Access. Using this guide, you truly start from scratch building a working database element by element and adding features and functionality as you go. You will finish the project culminating in a neatly created dashboard that will help you navigate swiftly around your database. The skills you learn here can then be used to create a bespoke database specifically targeted at your own environment. As usual this guide is written in clear understandable English. The authors are Microsoft Certified Trainers with years of practical experience in training people. If you buy any guide at all then buy this one and forget the others as you won't be disappointed! A must have booklet worth its weight in gold! The Microsoft Office Access 2007 Quick Tips Guide has over 60 pages of real step-by-step how to's with detailed instructions. Virtually every page contains full colour pictures of the actual screen Dialog Boxes or Menu Items you will need to complete a task. Unlike other Quick Tips Guides with 200 plus pages, we think our Microsoft Office Access 2007 Quick Tips Guide is extremely practical and teaches you the core skills and how to apply them to different situations!
