MS Access Forum / Modules / DAO / VBA / September 2005MVP Book Suggestions
Hi all, I've posted a few times and been reading the boards for a while and I'm scared by how much the MVPs know. But in a good way. So I'd like to pick your brains on a book question. Can you suggest any particular books that you feel Access programmers should have? Maybe your top 5? Do you have a favourite publisher/series/author? Maybe one is good for DB design and another for VBA? I'm specifically working in A97, so if there were any gold-standard A97 books, feel free to pass those along as well. Just curious to know what the pros use. Thanks, Jay There's already a list here: http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/books.htm Here's my list: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/linksRecommededreading.html  Signature--Roger Carlson Access Database Samples: www.rogersaccesslibrary.com Want answers to your Access questions in your Email?

Both excellent in the 97 versions, maybe you could pick up cheaply on eBay.

In fact, in a conversation with Pat (who recommended it), she joked about today's sermon on DAO being out of Chapter 14 starting with subsection 4. The name of the book, if I recall was 'Access Developer's Handbook'. You may also want to snoop around for books that discuss database design as well as developing Office soultions - books that cover how to use VBA to control Excel, Outlook, Word etc. > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Thanks, > Jay I'd also recommend that snoop around for various books on Requirements Gathering, Data Modeling and Process Analysis. The three subjects should give you a good background in the design side of things. Also, I would look up information on truth tables. I was introduced to them in Digital Electronics 10+ years ago and have quite surprisingly used them countless times in figuring out assorted issues. (They're also kind of fun to play with - at least for me, ok I am a geek.)
