This is not a bad substitute for the MS-Access documentation.  It isn't very
much more.  Tutorial material on data base concepts is very limited.  Field-
independent types will love it, since the style is along the "push-this-click-
that" model.
 
The "Visual Guide" series is presumably so-called because of the graphical (MS-
Windows) software chosen and the preponderance of screenshots.  While there are
a lot of illustrations, they could stand some work.  Very few shots really
explain what is going on, and the text refers to items onscreen by names which
are not always intuitively obvious.
