Reader, Student, and Conference Participant Comments

Smart Access * Peter Vogel had some awesome things to day in his

(from the Access column on the subject of Access coverage. I highly

newsgroups and letters recommend his words...

to the editor)

Peter Vogel wrote a wonderful article called, "Three Steps

to Disaster" in the Sept 1998 edition of Smart Access by

Pinnacle

There was a Smart Access article on normalization that

was the best thing I ever read about normalization .

* I always look forward to Smart Access and I compulsively

rearrange my schedule when it arrives to read it cove r to

cover on that first day

From Amazon.com reviews
