Access 2010 Pure SQL: Real Power-packed solutions for business users, developers, and the rest of us Paperback – March 18, 2013

This is without a doubt the best book on Access 2010 from a hands-on business user perspective. It is not intended to be a comprehensive, encyclopedic review of everything in Access. However, it hits ALL the high points and explains the power of SQL within Access. Most people think of Access as a simple database app that is for "non-technical" users; this book will take you from that mindset to a whole new dimension - and power-user capabilities you never knew existed.The author brings together a clear and strong knowledge of business processes, and shows you how to think about database functionality in connection with real-world business or data-handling problems. I strongly recommend Access 2010 Pure SQL and as a former Controller, financial analyst, CFO, and all-around business manager - you can't find a better entry into the new world of data and business - in short - BI performed with Access.In 400 pages the author manages to deliver a huge array of easy-to-follow examples that many books can only dream of. It's tailored to problem solving and practical usage of the amazing power of Access. So forget the over-engineered techie writeups - if you want the 1200 page doorstop for developers, I recommend the one by Wrox, which I also own. If you want to ramp up your knowledge of real-world use cases that directly solve business problems - then this is the book for you.

I purchased the later version for 2007. Great book!!!
