Hello,
Does ANYONE know any "good" books or references on VBA for MS-Access???


Thank you,

Charles L. Phillips
 
Hello Charles,

Depends what level you are at, dummies books are good if you are a
complete novice. The microsoft books are normally informative and to
the point, you just have to get the level correct.

Hope this helps,

Nick
 
Access 2000 Programming by Wrox Press is one of the best I've come across.
What exactly do you want to learn?

"Thank You"...

Hello,
What I'd like to learn are the following:

1. Ad Hoc Reports.

2. Automation & Development w/MS-Office Apps.

3. Control based queries.

4. Configuration & integration w/other apps.



These are just a few...





Thank you,



Charles L. Phillips
 
The Microsoft Press Step-by-Step books are a good starting point for
complete beginners. Beyond that, for comprehensive books that cover just
about everything about Access, look for books by John Viescas and Roger
Jennings. For books specifically about programming, start with the Wrox
Press book already mentioned. I have the Access 97 edition and liked it a
lot. I have not read the Access 2000 edition, but it is by the same authors.
The Access 2003 edition is by a different author, I don't know about that
one. For more advanced programming books, look for books by Rick Dobson (I
prefer his Access 2002 book, the Access 2003 book is a different book not
just a new edition) and the Access 2002 Developers Handbook, by Ken Getz et
all. For database design, look for Access Database Design and Programming,
by Steven Roman. For database design, user interface design, requirement
analysis and lots of other good stuff, look for 'Designing Effective
Database Systems', by Rebecca Riordan.

Elsewhere in this thread you mentioned that you are interested in learning
to automate other Office apps. If you're interested in learning to program
Excel, look for books by John Green and Stephen Bullen.
