Access 2002 Enterprise Development vs Beware of the Title,
By Tanvir Ahmed (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Enterprise Development (Paperback)
Every one is entitled to his/her opinion, but truth of the matter is that Alison Balter has done full justice to MS Access Development in both of her recently published books. In her first Access 2002 Development, she discussed in detail stand alone and some aspects of client-Server technology issues for beginners as well as advanced users (automating projects using VBA with real life code examples). Access 2002 Enterprise Development edition is more for Client/Server Applications. While SQL Server and Oracle are most widely used back-end databases, it is logical to talk about them more than any thing else. The purpose is to understand the concept and be able to handle issues for whatever backend database you maybe encountered with.I have worked with databases over 20 years and I feel very strongly that anyone working with MS Access as an ordinary user or a serious developer should read her both books. I had to write this note seeing Mr. McConrmick review, which is detrimental to the writer's sincere efforts for helping developers and Access users in general.

Transitioning to Client/Server Made Easier,
By Tolbert Ennis (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Enterprise Development (Paperback)
Because of budget constraints, most of what I know I got from books, junior college night classes, and every day work experience. I only mention this because I want you to know I really appreciate a good, affordable source of information. Like most Access programmers, I have bought books like those written by the "L-G-G Trinity." They are outstanding reference works that I can understand after only four or five readings. I wouldn't want to be without them. But I sometimes lose my way when these clever guys make the jump to light speed, and I am not even strapped in yet. They occasionally hurt my feelings when they refer to an example as "simple" when I have spent two hours mulling over the code. I don't mean this as criticism. Heck it would be a privilege to even meet these guys. But I am very, very glad that we have a writer like Alison Balter.Somehow she pitches things at just the right level of complexity and at a rate that most of us can easily understand. And the content is immediately applicable to my work. I am trying to move from MDBs linked to SQL Server using ODBC toward ADPs. If you are in a similar situation, read this book first. When you are finished you will have a good basic understanding of SQL Server and how you can manipulate it from the ADP front-end. You and I are still probably going to want to get a couple (One is never enough.) of additional books on SQL Server. By the way, there is a companion volume to this book called Allison Balter's Mastering Access 2002 Desktop Development. Read this one too and keep it for reference. It's great for filling in gaps in your knowledge.
