Beginner Access Books

[blackhawk4evr]

I am needing to create a Access database for a project. I have never used it and was wondering anybody knew any great beginner books for Microsoft Access.

Any help would be appreciated.

Point your browser to Amazon.com and do a search for "Access 2003 Beginner" (assuming you are using Access 2003). I would suggest reading through customer comments...they are very useful.

Hello:

Microsoft Access Version 2002 Step by Step is a very good choice. It can be completed in an afternoon. Below is a link.

After that you may want to read Microsoft Access 2002 Visual Basic for Applications Step by Step. It goes in to detail how to write the code for your database. Below is the link for that one.

Good luck with this.

Make sure any book you read talks about the steps of Normalization. This is the very first thing you do to build your tables. If your tables aren't normalized, you'll run into walls later on.
