5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing code examples, April 19, 2011
This review is from: Access Solutions: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets from Microsoft Access MVPs (Paperback)
The book is broken into 43 "tips," but it contains much much more than just 43 individual bits of code. Each of the eight parts is chock-a-block full of code to help you work with Tables, Queries, Forms, Reports, do magic stuff in VBA, automate Active-X controls, working with the Web, and a host of useful Utilities. Chapter 24 - Useful Functions - alone is the worth the price of admission. Sadly, the book doesn't include a CD, but there is a link to any of the sample files:[...]. Direct link to the samples is: [...] I suppose you could just download the samples and try to figure out how to use them, but you really need the book to explain the code and its uses. This book is a fabulous collection of solutions and should be in every serious Access developer's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, April 16, 2011
This review is from: Access Solutions: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets from Microsoft Access MVPs (Paperback)
Excellent book! Very easy to follow and well organized. It has been a HUGE help with designing my Access database project. This book teaches you many things that basic Access books don't even touch upon. The sections on Cascading Combo Boxes and Paired List Boxes helped me to significantly improve my project (and my knowledge). Elegant solutions to common problems. The best part - all the code is available to the reader. Hope to see a second book!
