Not For Beginners; Best Book For Advanced Access Programmers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Access 97 Developer's Handbook with CDROM (Sybex) (Paperback)
Short and Sweet: If you are just learning Access, this book will probably drive you insane. It is NOT for beginners who wish to learn about tables, queries, reports, etc. This book is about CODE. However, if you are an intermediate/advanced VBA programmer, this book is a MUST! (I have 2 copies - one at home and one at work.) It will teach you coding techniques that I have not seen elsewhere - and it explains them well. I have many books on Access and some have taught me excellent coding that is not covered in this book. However, if I had to choose just ONE Access book to work with, this would be it. Overall, it is simply the best.

Outstanding 1500 Page Reference. I listed the Index below.,

This review is from: Access 97 Developer's Handbook with CDROM (Sybex) (Paperback)
.A great book for an intermediate or advanced database programmer. If your goal is to get really good at MS Access this is the book for you. It is an outstanding reference for specific information on whatever topic you are interested in. If you only find one or two interesting chapters below, you may want to pass on this one. Not the kind of book you can master overnight. Remember how to eat an Elephant-one bite at a time. This book is too complex to digest except in small bites. I strongly recommend that if you are into databases and want to master this material, that you open this book every day (or as often as possible), and highlight a new topic and put some effort into using it. A good second reference is Microsoft's "Jet Database Engine Programmer's Guide." Index: 1. What's New in Access 97 2. The Access Event Model 3. Using VBA Class Modules 4. Database Design 5. Access SQL 6. Using Data Access Objects 7. Controlling Controls 8. Topics in Form Design and Usage 9. Topics in Form Report Design 10. Controlling Your Printer 11. Shared Office Programmability 12. Developing Multiuser Applications 13. Master Replication 14. Securing Your Application 15. Developing Client-Server Applications 16. Error Handling and Debugging 17. Application Optimization 18. Accessing DLLs and the Windows API 19. Harnessing Wizard Magic 20. Using Access as an Automation Client 21. Controlling Access as an Automation Server 22. Building Add-Ins 23. Web-Enabling Your Applications 24. Using Source Code Control Appendix A: The Reddick VBA Naming Conventions, Ver. 4.0 Appendix B: Startup and Global Options

A Must Have!,

This review is from: Access 97 Developer's Handbook with CDROM (Sybex) (Paperback)
When you are finished with those boring tutorials from other authors, buy this book! It will boost your skills to the next level by providing working solutions for you to build upon and inspire you. A 'Must Have' for anyone passionate about Access programming.For those that say this book is not for beginners, this was my 1st Access book. Most other books are filled with boring tutorials and instructions, but this one cuts to the chase. It has the most bang for your bucks. If you know how to use Access but want to learn how to create solutions with it, get this book!
