Query: Easy to follow, but still too vague.

I am definately a beginner to programming and only an occasional user of Access who learned by doing. I found this book easy to follow, but when I tried to apply the steps to the applications I had created; well lets just say it only worked 75 - 85% of the time. I realize it is how I set up the applications originally, but I thought that the book might ought help me figure out what I did wrong. I agree 100% with the person who said this is not a good reference book. Though I do feel I learned some very applicable techniques and enjoyed working along with the lessons.
