Teach Yourself VISUALLY™ Access® 2010 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech) Book 64)

Teach Yourself Visually Access 2010: When my employer upgraded from Access-97 to 2010 without a formal training class this book was a lifesaver for me. Its easy to follow illustrations and examples of the basic functions kept me moving with minimal conversion hiccups. Does it have everything? Of course not. If only there was a volume for intermediate and advanced functions... Oh well, it's still highly recommended.

I purchased several books trying to learn Access beginning in the year 2000, and attended two seminars and did not learn how to use Access, now after all that time and expense that problem is over; I started using Visually Access 2010 and after only a couple of weeks of study I was able to use my software. After all I am a senior person, and that for me is a great lesson in, " An old dog can learn new tricks".Access offers a great method of keeping a list of contacts and keeping a record of personal or business information. The information is able to be sorted in a variety of catagories.It is a must for personal or business record keeping because it is right at the computer without having to look through a paper file. There are many uses for Access and it makes life so easy. I like Access because it is not a standarize program but one that will adapt to the user.SPR DEWALT DWD112 8.0 Amp 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol-Grip Drill with Keyless All-Metal Chuck ArmorAll AA255 Utility Wet/Dry Vacuum Scottish Accommodation Occupancy Survey - All 4 Surveys [

Teach Yourself VISUALLY Access 2010 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) I have average computer skills and I've used the "Visual" books before--and this one is a great one. And here's the reason why. It's like having a tutor over your shoulder guiding you every step of the way. Each step is numbered and marked on a picture of your screen--in color. Every chapter is clear and concise and very easy to follow. Like I said, the tutor is with you all the way. The Microsoft Press books are also very good and I also use these, but I prefer the "Visual" books. They just seem easier for me to understand at my skill level. I've been using computers since 1985 at the corporate and personal level, so I do have some experience.

I am only sorry that I discovered these "Teach Yourself Visually" books after I graduated! I have a B.A. in Economics and a major in math, so I'm no dummy, but I find that these "Visual" learning books are a really quick and effective way to learn, and a great supplement or substitute for your usual textbook-like instruction manuals. My computer-programmer boyfriend looked through this book and said he might read it to brush up! I have bought every TYV book I could possibly use, and have found all of them to be helpful. They cover pretty advanced techniques and topics in the most simple way possible, and are very concise without sacrificing clarity. Recommend.

Seems OK for a beginner but I needed more. Not a reference book.

Love these "Visually" how to books. Have been using them for years. Quick info, detailed "screen shots". Have them for Word, Access, Excel, Power Point, Windows 7, Windows Vista, AND Windows 10 is on order as I write. Actually quicker than surfing through the Office community pages, and other sources looking for answers from other users or surfing the entire Microsoft website looking for an answer to your question(s). GREAT tools! I highly recommend them all.

Easy for teaching Access

A friend is teaching Word to GED students by using this same series so I decided to give it a try as I needed something basic and easy. This book is basic, but far from easy. The lessons jump around, starting with things as simple as how to x out of a program and then in the next step asking you to begin entering information in to a form you have yet to learn how to create or design. Whats more, the information they request you enter does not appear for another two pages. After flipping back and forth trying to keep up with what I'm doing and why, I am no closer to understanding how to create even a simple database. I'm not a fan of the Dummies books, but I may have to borrow a copy from the library to supplement this book.

The Teach Yourself Visually series is perfect for learning computers for the novice user and those that know a little bit too!If I need to learn anything to do with my computer then I will always choose this series of books before any others!I can very highly recommend this series of learning books.Take careDave
