Summary: My best reference for Access and VBA
Review: I have bought several reference books for these topics and I always find the answer I'm looking for in the Access97 Developers Handbook. Now I wish I had bought this one first. I would not have needed another book.

Summary: Outstanding 1500 Page Reference. I listed the Index below.
Review: .A great book for an intermediate or advanced database programmer. If your goal is to get really good at MS Access this is the book for you. It is an outstanding reference for specific information on whatever topic you are interested in. If you only find one or two interesting chapters below, you may want to pass on this one. Not the kind of book you can master overnight. Remember how to eat an Elephant-one bite at a time. This book is too complex to digest except in small bites. I strongly recommend that if you are into databases and want to master this material, that you open this book every day (or as often as possible), and highlight a new topic and put some effort into using it. A good second reference is Microsoft's "Jet Database Engine Programmer's Guide." Index: 1. What's New in Access 97 2. The Access Event Model 3. Using VBA Class Modules 4. Database Design 5. Access SQL 6. Using Data Access Objects 7. Controlling Controls 8. Topics in Form Design and Usage 9. Topics in Form Report Design 10. Controlling Your Printer 11. Shared Office Programmability 12. Developing Multiuser Applications 13. Master Replication 14. Securing Your Application 15. Developing Client-Server Applications 16. Error Handling and Debugging 17. Application Optimization 18. Accessing DLLs and the Windows API 19. Harnessing Wizard Magic 20. Using Access as an Automation Client 21. Controlling Access as an Automation Server 22. Building Add-Ins 23. Web-Enabling Your Applications 24. Using Source Code Control Appendix A: The Reddick VBA Naming Conventions, Ver. 4.0 Appendix B: Startup and Global Options
