Good (recent) books on MS SQL Server backends + MS Access frontends?

[vavroom]

hello all,

I am trying to find books (or even one!) that would give a good
overview of using MS SQL Server for the backend of a database
application, using MS Access as the frontend. I've found a few
things, but it all appears to be years old.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

Nic

Here's the best I know of although fairly old:

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Acc...=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216350379&sr=8-5

and:

Thanks Arvin, much appreciated.

I'd seen those but was concerned about the age of them, and how
outdated the information would be. But if you say that they are the
best, I'll investigate getting them.

Cheers

Nic

Those aren't that much out of date. The fundamentals haven't changed
a lot.

Note that this book would appear to be focused on ADPs. A path which
the original poster may or may not want to go down.

Dude.. what exactly does this comment contribute?

'A path which

Of course he wants to go ADP-- it is the best route by far.

Real quick-- name the steps to bind a Jet form to a sproc (with
parameters of course).

in ADP it doesn't take _ANY_ VBA
