Hello All,

I am attempting to write my very first add-in for Access 2002 (SP3). I
have the excellent Litwin, Getz, Gilbert book "Access 97 Developer's
Handbook" My question is: Will this book be sufficient for version
2002? Are there any major differences between the process for A97 and
2002?

Thank you all for your consideration,

mcescher
 
Almost everything in your book will still apply, provided you include a
reference to the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Library (and dereference the Microsoft
ActiveX library if you don't need it.)

If you are familiar with Access 97, you might appreciate:
Converting from Access 97 to Access 2000 and later

Not sure exactly what you mean by an add-in. If this is a COM control, you
may need to be aware that Access 2000 and later uses Unicode strings rather
than the single-byte characters of earlier versions.
