If I want it to taste like chicken, I'll eat chicken...

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!

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.

Here are a few I have read and found useful:

Beginning Access 97 VBA Programming
Robert Smith & David Sussman
Wrox Press ISBN 1-861000-86-3

Access Database Design & Programming
Steve Roman
O'Reilly Press ISBN 1-56592-297-2

Access 97 Developer's Handbook
Paul Litwin, Ken Getz & Mike Gilbert
Sybex Press ISBN 0-7821-1941-7

I hammered my way through the Access 97 Help files and taught myself a fair amount, but these books explained it ALL so much better!
