Blindly pointing and clicking through the exercises without thinking about the material being covered will not result in effective learning of the software. Specifically, while you are reading and working through this book, do so in a deliberate manner, paying careful attention to what is being explained. There must also be a commitment from you, the reader, to take an active and engaged role in the learning process.

The hands-on walkthrough and applied practice is what makes this textbook work, but that is only half of the formula to make your learning effective. This book is written so that you will learn the fundamentals of Microsoft Access in a step-by-step and hands-on fashion. If you are intimidated by Microsoft Access, take heart! Let me assure you that no matter how little experience you have or how much you hate computers (or they hate you), you CAN learn this software program with a little work, time, and dedication.
