 | Access Cookbook K. Getz et al. (Advanced) The Access book I would write if I had the time (and a publisher). Looks at specific problems a serious developer will likely face in their database travails, and offers powerful solutions. Recommended. |
 | Microsoft Access 2000 Bible Prague et al. (Advanced) When a book describes itself in biblical terms, it needs to be good I guess. Comes with a nice CD, as so many of these books do, and looks impressive on your office bookshelf :o) |
 | Microsoft Access 2002 Bible Prague et al. (Advanced) Another monumental effort to weigh down your desk. Not for the faint-hearted, as it is somewhat hefty. Will meet 95% of the needs of 95% of developers. |
 | Access 2003 VBA Programmers Reference Cardoza et al. (Advanced) To get serious with your Access databases you really need to embrace VBA - this is a pretty fair place to start. |
 | Microsoft Access 97 Developer's Set K. Litwin, P. Getz, M. Gilbert (Advanced) An essential purchase for the serious 97 developer, this includes both Access and VBA developer guides. Can't be recommended highly enough. Go buy it now! |
 | Microsoft Access 2000 Developer's Set K. Litwin, P. Getz, M. Gilbert (Advanced) I haven't read this one yet, but judging by the excellence of the 97 version, this is bound to be a must-have. |
 | Microsoft Access 2000 and Visual Basic Language Developer's Set K. Litwin, P. Getz, M. Gilbert (Advanced) An essential purchase for the serious 2000 developer, this includes both Access and VB developer guides. Can't be recommended highly enough. We're not worthy, we're not worthy, etc… |
 | New Perspectives on Microsoft Access 2000 with VBA K. Oxford (Intermediate) A good introduction to the use of VBA in Access. |
 | Access 2003 Inside-Out J. L. Viescas (Intermediate) A handy and quite in-depth coverage of Access, reflecting features introduced in this version, by a respected author. |
 | Programming Microsoft Access
2002 with VB.Net R. Dobson (Intermediate) A decent enough step up to using Access to do what you really want, instead of what the wizards want you to do. |
 | Visual Blueprint for Creating & Maintaining Real-world Databases F. Scott Barker (Intermediate) An annoying long title for an otherwise good book, especially for those amongst you who prefer screenschots to swathes of text. That's the "visual" bit, you see. A good book for the generalist who wants to go further. |
 | Running Microsoft Access 2000 J. L. Viescas (Intermediate) Published by Microsoft Press, so not hot on flaws and bugs in Access. Still a fine book though, and a good step up from the average 'Access for dolts' primer. |
 | Microsoft Access 2000 Step By Step (Intermediate) Quite good coverage of the new features in 2000. However, it's published by Microsoft Press, so don't expect too much detail about the grief you can have upgrading from 97 if your databases are complex or code-heavy. |
 | Sam's Teach Yourself Microsoft Access 2000 in 21 Days (Novice) There are also 'in 24 hours' and 'in 10 minutes' books in this series but Einstein himself couldn't learn Access in 10 minutes! Does provide a structured framework in which to learn the subject though. |
 | How To Use Microsoft Access 2000 J. Okwudili (Novice) More Access-Lite, as good an intro as the other novice books listed here and included to give you some choice! |
 | Teach Yourself Microsoft Access 2000 Visually R. Maran (Novice) Less text, more colour pictures. If that's your preferred means of learning and you need an introductory text, try this. |
 | The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Access 2000 J. Habraken (Novice) Well a complete idiot isn't going to develop a relational database in a month of Sundays, but this is still a reasonably good introduction to the subject: Access-Lite, if you will. |
 | Microsoft Access 2000 Explained N. Kantaris (Novice) Sometimes I wish someone would explain it to me. All the novice books included here are largely interchangeable - you pays your money, you takes your choice. |
