As the most popular database management program on the market,
Microsoft Access didn't need much improvement. But with the release of
Access 2003, Microsoft managed to further enhance the way people
organize, access, and share information.

In this new version,
Access is more capable than ever, thanks to additional features like
automatic error checking, automatic property updating, and the expanded
ability to import, export, and work with Extensible Markup Language
(XML) data files. The number of features it offers is truly
impressive--and potentially daunting.

Anyone baffled by the multitude of features and functionality in Microsoft Access can get up to speed quickly with the help of Access 2003 Personal Trainer.
Part of our new Personal Trainer Series, this book lets people of any
technical level learn exactly what they need to know at their own pace.
Unlike many consumer software tutorials that dumb down the material or
present it in a confusing fashion, this book is written in a
non-technical and engaging style that readers find fun, easy, and
informative.

This book will not only help existing users, but
those who received Access as part of Microsoft Office and are now ready
to dip their toe in the water. It starts with Access fundamentals and
then moves on to tables, fields, queries, forms, reports, macros, and
advanced topics like linking information from an external source. Access 2003 Personal Trainer explains how you can easily:

• Access information from multiple sources
• Link business systems
• Create powerful database solutions
• Share information more efficiently
