Hi

I have Access 97 Developer's Handbook. The writers are Paul Litwin, Ken Getz and Mike Gilbert. The ISBN is 0-7821-1941-7 from Sybex.

Goldy:

You also might want to look at Beginning VBA Programming by Robert Smith and David Sussman. My copy ('97) is from WROX Press, but I understand that they have been sold/acquired.

Should still be available and there is an Access 2000+ version.

I found it a really good book for learning how to code. Good examples that use a practical approach to explain and demonstrate how things work.

I seldomreccomend a specific text for learning. Individuals have different approaches to the learning process and the different authors have their own styles of presentation. Each individual also enters the process with their background and experience, complicating the situation re the most appropiate venue for learning the subject.

What I do advise is to take your background, experience, and 'style' to the local bookstore with a plethora of texts in the area of interest and spend some time browsing the tomes which are available. In these reviews, you should check for items (of subjects) of specific and immediate interest. Select a few from categories which you know well, you can get through-but have some difficulty with and which you are uinfamiliar. In each, category and each text, decide wheather the author has presented the material in a manner which is clear to you (even though you may not grasp all of hte details at the first reading). Also check to see if -even in the topics which you know well, was there any new information which you did not previously know. Reflecting on these and your general satisfaction in using each of the texts usually is sufficient to select the most appropiate reference for you at the time. If you are really interested in programming, wheather specifically in MS Access or in broader perspectives, repeat the exercise periodically.
