Learning Access in detail - books recommendation?

[leeds1]

Hi, Could anyone recommend a book that covers the whole of Access 2003 in
more depth than the introduction books aimed at beginners? Although as a
beginner my first instinct was to buy something like Sams Teach Yourself
Access 2003, I've been advised that the project I've been given will
probably require some Visual Basic so I'm concerned that the intro books may
not be sufficient. As I live in Japan I don't have the option of going to a
bookshop and checking for myself, so any recommendations would be most
appreciated. Thanks.

Here are a few:

They range from beginner to advanced programming.

John Viescas' "Microsoft Office Access 2003 Inside Out"
may be particularly useful in your situation. This assumes
you are actually using 2003. It covers everything AND the
kitchen sink too.

Good luck,

I would recommend:
Helen Feddema Expert one-on-one Microsoft Access Application Development
at www.wrox.com
It's really excellent, from forms to VBA code to working with other Office
apps.

I have a free tutorial on Access that you might want to check out.
It's at www.profsr.com Profsr.com Tutorials

Thanks Mike. I think that book may be a bit too high level for me right now,
but I'll definitely work through your tutorial in the meantime.

Try the books in the Shelly Cashman Series. You can get
them over the internet and they come in different levels
depending on how much you want to learn.

The complete or comprehensive level books are fairly
thorough and are used in computer classes in California
colleges.

Hope this helps
