Summary: Kudos to the Authors
Review: It has already been said, Simply the best! I'm finding more and more Web sites/threaded discussions using or pointing to the code found in the Access Developer's Handbook and VBA Developer's Handbook.The ShellBrowse functions alone to be extremely helpful. Thanks to Ken, Paul, and Mike

Summary: Meilleur livre sur Access avancé
Review: J'ai plusieurs dizaines de livres dont beaucoup sur Access et je trouvais qu'il était souvent question de choses faite pour les débutants et non pour ceux et celles qui étaient expérimentés. Cela donnait comme effet que Access était un petit logiciel quasiment non exploitable dans une entreprise. Mais voilà que ce 'Kit' arrive sous mon regard. Un livre qui soit dit en passant donne énormément d'astuces de programmation très bien adapté autant pour ceux qui programme depuis longtemps que pour ceux qui en font depuis un certain temps. Je me suis surpris à apprendre plusieurs nouvelles technique dès le premier chapitre, chose qui ne se produisait même pas dans les derniers chapitres des autres livres d'Access. Les exemples sur CDROM fonctionent à merveilles et sont facile à apprendre. Merci à tous les auteurs de ce merveilleux dont je suis certain que je vais lire et relire par simple plaisir. Merci!

Summary: A "must have" for Access developers
Review: My copy of the 97 version of this book is really dog-eared and the my version 2000 copy is getting that way. I also have their Volume II because I'm looking forward to tapping more of the power of Access.

Summary: ADH Rules!
Review: OK, so I watch too much Emeril. What else is there to say (that hasn't already been said in these reviews) for the Access book that has everything a developer could want. And if on occasion I don't think so, I can write the authors. What a deal!

Summary: The definitive Access 2000 set
Review: The first Access book I have been able to just jump into and find information describing the situation I need help with. Solid and easy to follow style, leaving little to the imagination. If you need help, this is the source to go to.

Summary: A real developer's set.
Review: The main problem with these books are the massive amount of information conveyed. But this is mitigated by the clear and consise structure. Many people feel most comfortable with WROX or O'Reilly books. This series of Access books surpasses both of them for providing the information you need to understand and utilize the advanced features of Access in a way the program's authors expect you to use it.

Summary: Worth every penny and then some! Excellent
Review: The one stop source for every Access question you could ever think of. Too much information for the casual user, if your serious about Access then this set is for you. The two CD's that come with the set are very useful. The sheer volume of information made it a difficult task at times to locate the information you needed. Nevertheless, every question I had I found covered in complete detail. This is a must have for anyone who really wants to get the most out of Access!

Summary: Think you are an Access 2000 master?
Review: Then pick up this two-volume set and confirm it! I'll bet you there are still tips and tricks that you can learn and this set will show them to you. Both books definitely fall under the Intermediate-Advanced Access 2000 users category.... Volume 1 still covers mostly design environment topics, like advanced reporting & forms, SQL, using ADO code to loop through recordsets, VBA tricks, working with other Office apps. If you are looking for advanced Access info like migrating to SQL Server, optimizing multiuser performance, Data Access Pages or setup/deployment of an application, look at Volume 2. I can't even get in to the level of detail these books provide, so here are just a few examples of tips/tricks I found useful in my corporate development: 1. Building an Append query in Access query viewer that actually hits an external Excel or .txt file.
2. Using a report's NoData event to display a message that there is no data in a report rather than returning or printing a blank report.
3. Sorting & grouping a report on the fly by asking the user in a form how they want to group or sort, then doing it with code.
4. An incredible section on how to dynamically optimize the application's screen resolution based on the user's screen size, complete with code you can paste and use!
5. Custom autonumber (so my records are ordered sequentially, rather than having number gaps after deleting an autonumbered data type field).
There are plenty more that I could add but I assume you get the picture! If you are very comfortable with Access, you need this set to complete your library and call yourself an Access Master!

Summary: The best computer books I've laid my eyes on
Review: These are invaluable resources to anyone who wants to develop Access based database solutions. They were not written for begginers, but if you feel you can program in Access and need the absolute best books on the market, these are the ones to buy. I've been buying the books since the Access 95 version and I own several other Access books. These are clearly the best, not only in content, but also in the way content is presented. I own tens of computer books and these are at the top of the list regarding usefulness of content, completeness and readability. I haven't made the move to Access 2002, but I'me sure going to buy the 2002 set when I do it.

Summary: Lots of useful information...
Review: These books are great resources for the Advanced Access Developer. Let me stress the word "Advanced". You should have a good understanding of Access and VBA before using these books or you may find yourself lost in a sea of overwelming information. The only real grip I have about the set is their size. I would have been willing to pay extra if the set were broken down into 4 easy to manage books instead of 2 monster 1000+ page books. At any rate if you're already comfortable with Access 2000, these books are a must have.
