MS Access books

[Neil Greenough]

I am looking for a book which may be available in UK libraries.

Basically, i'd like a book which starts from scratch and throughout the
book, you carry out different exercises and at the end of the book, you have
a very complex yet user-friendly pratice database.

I have had a few books from my local library, however they don't go into
enough depth that I would like.

Does anybody know of any in-depth books on MS Access?

Have you tries the Access Bible or Access for Dummies. Both of these books
are quite good.

Personally, I started with Que's "Using Microsoft Access" by Roger Jennings
and I found that it was very useful.

For advanced techniques, you can't go past "Developer's Handbook" by Getz et
al piblished by Sybex.

Cheers for that Van.

Hopefully, i'll get myself a book and then can leave you guys in peace

There may be exceptions, Neil, but in my experience it's mostly the
beginner's books that include exercises. The intermediate to advanced books
tend, in my experience, to assume that you will want to take an idea or
technique and adapt it for your own needs, and don't commonly include
exercises.
