This book has some great tips on how to get these two programs to work together for even more sophistication and productivity. Excel is one of those programs where the average user uses perhaps 15 percent of its capabilities. The same is probably true of Access. Alexander and Clark show some great ways to get the programs to work together. Even as a seasoned user, I found some neat sections that opened my eyes. For me the best sections were those on Microsoft Query, getting Excel reports to look professional (by feeding them to Access Reports), the introduction to VBA, and the very clever sections on integration with Word and PowerPoint. This book will be a valuable addition to every Excel and Access user's bookshelf (and it won't get dusty there, I regularly use it as a reference).
