Amazon.co.uk Review
This mammoth guide to building enterprise-wide applications using Microsoft's Office Suite database is aimed squarely at the hard-core programmer, illustrating all aspects of program development in the nearly mind-numbing detail such an audience requires. The authors of Access 2000 Developer's Handbook offer thorough help, not only with traditional Access application building--such as creating SQL Server databases--but also with Access 2000's new Internet features.

With Web-based applications becoming more prevalent, the chapters on using Access as a Web client and publishing Access data on the Web are particularly useful.

The authors have organised the guide so that, depending on your level of expertise or familiarity with previous versions of Access, you can delve into the book at any point and get started with your programming chores.

Along these lines, a companion CD-ROM includes all the code and tables featured in the book, along with software demos, freeware and shareware.

Access 2000 Developer's Handbook isn't for the faint of heart; reading this book won't make you a programmer overnight. But if your job is developing applications for large corporate networks--especially if you are looking to create Web-based programs--this guide provides everything you need. --John Frederick Moore, Amazon.com

Topics covered: Designing client-server applications, creating SQL Server databases, using Access as a Web client, using source code control, setup and deployment.

The bible
If it's not here it's in volume 1. For professional developers and those who aspire it's your number 1 resource.

Excellent book for the experienced developer
This book is for experienced Access and SQL Server developers. A through understanding of client server development is needed to gain the most from it. The chapter on Office Web Components was a real revelation.
