Hands-On Microsoft Access: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Access Skills Review by Robbe D. Morris
Microsoft MVP 2005 - Visual C# recommends caution
Hands-On Microsoft Access is one of the better Access books "if" you are developing entire applications in Microsoft Access. This includes using Access forms as well as reports.
The author does a nice job of explaining how to write fairly elaborate Access applications. Tons of screen shots and real world terminology is a plus for beginners.
However, if you are writing applications in a typical programming language such as Visual Basic 6.0 or any one of the .NET languages, you'll want to pass on this one.
The book won't cover any of the SQL quirks Microsoft Access has and the less than easy to find workarounds.
