Title: Real Weak!
Product review: I had a problem with an SQL query involving joins. According to the index for this book, this book doesn't even cover joins! I about talked myself into believing that Access doesn't support joins, but Access' online help does explain using wizzards to do joins (which this book does not even mention). I needed to do my work in SQL, so the on line help didn't give me an answer, just encouragement. Finally I discoved that I had used a two-word field name, which Access supports, but which SQL does not. When I changed the field name to one word, the SQL query worked perfectly.I buy these books as resources to allow me to avoid spending an entire day with a simple syntax problem like this. "Access 2000 for Dummies" failed miserably in it's mission. (And it's not as funny as Kaulfield thinks it is, either...).
