Access Cookbook 2nd Edition
Not a reference book, and not a tutorial either, the new
second edition of the highly regarded Access Cookbook is an
uncommonly useful collection of solutions to problems that
Access users and developers are likely to face as they
attempt to build increasingly complex applications.
Although using any single "recipe"
in the book will more
than pay back the cost of the book in terms of both hours
saved and frustration thwarted, Access Cookbook, Second
Edition is much more than a handy assortment of
cut-and-paste code.
Each of the "recipes" examine a particular problem--problems
that commonly occur when you push the upper limits of
Access, or ones that are likely to trip up a developer
attempting to design a more elegant Access application--even
some things you never knew Access could do. The authors
then, in a clear, accessible, step-by-step style, present
the problems' solution. Following each "recipe" are insights
on how Access works, potential pitfalls, interesting
programming techniques that are used in the solution, and
how and why the solution works, so you can adapt the
problem-solving techniques to other similar situations.
Fully updated for Access 2003, Access Cookbook, Second
Edition is also one of the first books to thoroughly explore
new support for .NET managed code and XML. All of the
practical, real-world examples have been tested for
compatibility with Access 2003, Windows XP, and Windows
Server 2003. This updated new edition also covers Access and
SharePoint, Access and SmartTags, Access and .NET; and
Access and XML.
Access power users and programmers at all levels, from the
relatively inexperienced to the most sophisticated, will
rely on the Access Cookbook for quick solutions to gnarly
problems. With a dog-eared copy of Access Cookbook at your
side, you can spend your time and energy where it matters
most: working on the interesting facets of your Access
application, not just the time-consuming ones.
