Access Developer's Handbooks

[Guest]

Does anyone know if Paul Litwin is planning on coming out with handbooks for
Access 2003? If not then will the 2002 handbooks suffice? Thanks.

AFAIK, there are no plans for a 2003 version. The 2002 books should suffice.
(Interesting that you associate the book with Paul: I always associate it
with Ken Getz!)

Thanks Doug. I guess it's because Paul's name always comes up when you look
for the books on Amazon.

I don't think Ken Getz will mind that a few put Litwin's name first -- in
fact, seems to me, he's the one who suggested that order. <GRIN>

Paul Litwin, at a meeting we both attended in 2004, told me that the
publisher, Sybex, had decided not to publish an edition for Access 2003. I
assume that was because the developer capabilities of 2003 were not much
changed. I am quite sure that the Access 2002 edition will be very useful
for Access 2003 -- the only significant differences are "across Office" not
"Access specific", and the abominable on-line-primary Help engine.
