[AccessD] Desk Reference

The last ADH I used was the 2000 version (Getz, Littwin, Gilbert).  I still
use it at least once a week.  I don't think there's a huge difference
between 2000 and 2003. If there's an ADH2003 I'd get that. 


Between the ADH and the AccessD that's all you should need.

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
