[AccessD] SQL Server Advice

Hey everyone,

Most excited - somehow I have managed to sneak into a role at work which requires me to use an SQL Server backend to Access Front End.  Very happy about this as I want to learn how SQL server ticks and there is nothing like a bit of deadline pressure to inspire one to hit the books/newgroups/etc...

Going to be a steep learning curve as I have to get this app moved over from an Excel based tool to SQL Server.  I always find it nicer if I get paid to learn stuff as well.  I have had a look at SQL Server and it doesn't seem too complex to use (that probably means I really don't understand it all) - SQL syntax is different to Access though, hmmmm.

sooooo....  So  does anyone here have any advice of good sources of SQL Server info, website, or resources.  Would be happy to get a book organised, but I am not sure if there is one that is "must have" or not.  A peep at Amazon was inconclusive.

All and any advice gratefully received.

Cheers
Darryl in Oz!
