Microsoft Access 2016 Programming By Example: with VBA, XML, and ASP

I'm only 8 chapters in right now, I'll try to come back to this when I've finished the book (if I do). Knocked off a star because at only 8 chapters in (out of 31) I'm finding errors. It seems like the example code was written for older versions of Access and then has been updated and not fully vetted along the way. (Specifically this review was prompted be errors in the subroutine on page 193.) I only docked one star though because debugging code is a great learning opportunity, its not one that should be part of the introduction, but it has been interesting.

So far this book seems to be just what I needed to review Access VBA programming. I've been an intermediate VBA programmer for 15 years (retired) and wanted to keep up with the latest version of Access VBA. Each chapter of the book has hands-on examples with data that can work with the Access 2016 program (which I also got from Amazon).

Well written and jam-packed full of good stuff

I love the Just Do it approach to learning. She does a great job at this and I'm learning a LOT!My kind of book - perfect content, perfect teaching method - Thank you!

This a good book. I'm working through it as a refresher. There are some slight discrepancies btween the text and the included CD but it's still good package.

It's a great book I added to my library. Not any one book will cover 100% of any IT operation. It does however cover a great deal to help with your Access programming. I have the Access 2010 Programming Pocket Primer which complements this book. For those with the Kindle edition....yeah you have to email to get the code. Two days, and I had mine. Not an inconvenience in my mind.

1084 pages but I have never found the answer to any of my questions here.I have over 30 years of experience in the computing business and about 10 of those years were spend writing code. Mostly C but some Java and other bits mixed in so I know programming languages and know how to learn new ones. I am familiar with object oriented programming but I am new to relational databases, VBA and Access. This book has been no help. VBA is an abominable conglomeration of stuff collected over some forty years of existence. Basic was once a simple languag but using it as the basis of an object oriented programming system with dynamic GUI's is a horrible idea. I guess its because Basic was the core of Bill Gates' competence so it had to be the flagship for everything Microsoft.Anyway I continue to persevere with VBA but this book is a doorstop.

I have written several books on Amazon and this would be the standard I strive for.

The book is a fairly good review of the 2016 functionality. I have prior experience with VBA for Access so I can't comment as to whether this would be a good beginner text.

good

Since I bougth the book, I have sent two e-mails to the publisher, asking for the companion files, but have not received any answer. Do not buy the Kindle version of this book!

Es una referencia. Es muy bueno. Me gustó mucho. Lo recomiendo. Empieza por lo básico y va profundizando. Vas practicando con el método de programación que proponen. Un consejo, recomiendo estudiar con libreta anotando el nombre de las propiedades y métodos, así como el objeto al que pertenecen, con anotaciones se las ideas más importantes de los mismos, así como hacer un esquema de la posición jerárquica que tienen unos objetos con otros para así luego el repaso sea muy rápido y eficiente.Un comentario adicional, este libro aclara muchísimo la idea de la propiedad. ConnectionString del objeto Connection. Los que saben algo de ADO y DAO sabrán a lo que me refiero, en especial cuando debes tener claro cómo la debes establecer propiedad .Provider del objeto Connection según el modelo ADO en función de la fuente de datos a la que quieras conectarte. También te enseña a usar ficheros .udl para tal propósito.Resumiendo, es un gran libro.

Le livre me convient parfaitement. Par contre pour en profiter pleinement il serait nécessaire de pouvoir télécharger le CD d'accompagnement.Or il n'en n'est fait aucune mention sur le site Amazon.Comment faire pour obtenir ces fichiers indispensables
