Alison Balter's "Mastering Access 97 Development" is worth a look. How it compares to the above mentioned I can't tell. It may be a little to "basic" for some, certainly not me, but a few of the "(Programmer)'s " questions in various forums still seem to be covered in its first=basic section.
If only they could have made it less heavy!

Don't bother with 'Learn Access in 21 days'-badly written and difficult to read. Maybe a good bedtime reading for isomniacs!
Access 97 (or 2000) Developer's Handbook by Litwin, Getz and Gilbert (SYBEX). THE book... Terry

All of the above mentioned are good (except for the 21 day).
The problem with being a specialized programmer.....
"if you don't use it, you quickly become an amnesiac!"
My best used books tend to have a large number of sticky note bookmarks in them.
1 Microsoft Access 2000/Visual Basic for Applications Fundamentals
2 Access 2000 VBA Handbook
3 Microsoft Access 2000 VBA Fundamentals/Mastering Set
I know, (my sig other says the same thing)YOUR SPENDING TOO MUCH ON BOOKS!
Anyway, go to a local place (B&N, Borders, etc) and browse through a few different ones and find one in a style you feel comfortable with.
You might get lucky on the first try.
