Microsoft Access is easily the most popular database on the planet. Why? Because it's a part of the Microsoft Office Suite of products. It's not all that strong a database, but it's powerful enough for databases up to 50 megabytes and a few thousand hits a day. And that fits the vast majority of the applications people have in their day to day work. This book is a show and tell book. That is it has lots and lots of screen shots that show what your screen should look like as it tells you what's being done.
This is a great way to handle a tutorial type book. As you go through Microsoft Access 2007 On Demand, first you learn the general concepts of what a database is and what it does. Then you learn about Microsoft's new 'Ribbon' the new concept in user interfaces. From there you go on to learning about defining tables, putting data in and getting it out of the database, all the things that you would expect to want to know. As an added feature, Microsoft Access 2007 On Demand meets the objectives for the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist, so upon completion of the book you should be ready to take the test.
