This is a good book to getting started with using VBA in Access. Although you can design databases without using VBA, either using macros or getting the wizard to create the code for you, in order to fully utilise the power of Access, you need to learn how to use VBA. This book goes through the VBA needed to create a database, in this case a Whisky Shop. Whilst it doesn't go into tremendous detail on everything VBA related, it offers enough to give the reader a good basis. The main shortcoming, I feel, is that there is limited coverage of internet databases, although this fault is not limited to this book alone, and is probably mainly attributable to its age (my copy is dated 1997). Having said that, it nicely bridges the gap between the beginner's level books, which often barely mention VBA, and the Developer's Handbook set.
