This is one of the best book that I found for Access 2000. Great for beginner. It provided a tutorial step by step, it was slow but it gave me a chance to understand all of the features and make sure that I don't miss any steps. It even gave me the sample of the output so I could compare with my work. Many exercises are listed for each chapter and it is a great way to learn. I just learned using Access 2000 by reading this book. It is highly recommended for whom just doesn't know anything about Access.
