Title: Content doesn't deliver what title promises
Review: I'm an MIS professional. From this book's title and a quick browse at the bookstore, I thought it would be just what I needed to quickly come up on Access VBA, given my experience (including Access database design and Word VBA). Wrong! There's no way you could spend a weekend with this book and come away with anything more than theoretical knowledge, because there's no chance to apply anything.Incredibly, there are no step-by-step exercises in the book and no practice databases on the CD. What looked, at first glance, to be exercises actually turned out to be just explanations in numeric form. Apparently, connecting the book's explanations with the CD's finished code (a time-consuming exercise in itself) is supposed to teach you all you need to know about Access VBA. I've taught enough computer courses to know it just doesn't work that way.
