[AccessD] Desk Reference

Get the ADH 2003 if you can find it.  There were some changes from 2000
that would only affect developers, and the handbook will give you the
answers you need.  For instance, you couldn't bind a 2000 form to an ADO
recordset and edit the records, but you can in 2003.

Hi all,

 

I moved to a new employer recently, and found myself in a situation
where I'm using Access quite heavily once again (after quite a few years
off, and thinking I would never see it again!).  So back to the list of
experts I go!

 

I'm still getting my feet wet here, but my main use for Access will be
as a back end loader of spreadsheet data into our financial system
(Oracle back end) for a variety of data load purposes and functionality.
And of course, eventually getting the Access app polished enough for
general distribution to IT staff and advanced users as factors allow.   

 

We use Access 2003 here, but my experience is centered around 97.  I am
looking for a reference that is on a par with the Access 97 Dev Handbook
(Litwin, Getz and Gilbert) that I practically wore out.  I'm looking
around Amazon and Barnes, and am not pleased with what I'm finding.

 

What is the best Intermediate/Advanced 'go to' reference out there for
A2003 for an ex A97 developer?  I'm seeing an Access 2002 Dev Handbook
by Litwin, Getz and Gunderloy that looks interesting (online), is it the
same type of reference I'm used too and is it relevant for A2003?

 

Thanks for your input,

 

Mark Porter
