Not good for the newbie but good for the seasoned!! April 7, 2008
This book is written with the intermediate to advanced programmer in mind. There is much to learn from this book on options and techniques to use when building business applications in Access. There is explanations of every sample application and it's function. I would give it five stars if it were not for the title. The title maybe a bit misleading since it talks about building applications since it kind of sways you into thinking that it is a book on the step by step process of "Building Microsoft Access Applications." If you are seasoned in Access programming it is a gem to have in your bookshelf.
 Not worth the price June 28, 2007

Very hard to follow, poorly organized and written. Unless you're well versed in Access already, skip this book. Definitely NOT for beginners.
Good book but not all the answers May 12, 2007

This book is a good start toward understanding how to build Access applications. Some of the details are missing. An example would include the proper syntax for referencing fields in a form.
Not for the newbie! March 14, 2006

Definitely not for the newbie. This is for the seasoned access programmers. I you are new to programming (at least in access) and are looking for a book on how to program with access, this is not for you. This is a great book for those seasoned programmers who are looking to make their applications better.
 Very Solid, useful book for development of Access Applications. June 29, 2005

Easy to read first few chapters with basic design info, remainder of the book focuses on complete applications that can serve as a template/best practice for almost any other MS Access application.
Viescas clearly understands/communicates an in depth knowledge of Access Applications that I have not seen anywhere else.
