In fact, by the end of the first 4 chapters (just 157 pages), you'll be writing your first true client/server application, using Access as the front-end and DAO as the data access method. The data itself can be in an Access database or in an ODBC database such as SQL Server whose tables are linked to Access tables.

5.0 out of 5 stars must for anyone who develops serious applications in Access, February 14, 1999

By A Customer

Client/Server Programming for Access 97 is a must have for anyone who develops serious applications in Access 97. It contains clear, practical guidelines to create and polish client/server applications using Access 97. I recommend this book to both novices and experts since it impossible to believe that there will not be something of value for anyone who reads it. It can be read cover to cover or used as a reference. As a footnote, I must also add that the paper quality is unusually good and the layouts completely avoid descriptions on one page and diagrams on the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of the entire topic, January 19, 1999

By	Glenn (Lebanon, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I just finished the book and I loved it! It does a very nice job of covering the entire topic in enough depth to provide real answers, while leaving plenty of room for exploration. I'll be downloading some of the examples soon. I particularly liked the "Paired-Pages" arrangement where the right page summarizes and supplements the material presented on the left. It delivers the concepts in convenient bite-size pieces with immediate, built-in reinforcement. It will get my highest recommendation. It now takes it's place on my shelf alongside the other Access "Bible", the Sybex Access97 Developer's Handbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, November 11, 2002

By	Anne M. "annemb" (Orchard Park, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I have been developing applicaitons for a number of year now with Access 97 and have many books I have used. This book has become my most recommended. I have found many books on Access to be either too basic or too advanced for me. This book talks about basic concepts and then adds enough advanced information that almost anyone could learn something from it. The concepts are explained in a very understandable way. I wish I had bought this years ago!
