Summary

Microsoftr AccessTM is the industry's leading desktop and departmental database product. More complex than the other applications in the Microsoft Office suite, Access requires careful database planning and custom programming using the VBA language to bring out its true power and flexibility. For programmers who prefer content to frills, Access Database Design & Programming is a sure bet. Succinct and straightforward, it may be the most information packed 400 pages in print for putting Access to its full, individually tailored use. This expanded introduction to design and programming with the most common database operations will satisfy those who want to go beyond step-by-step learning to grasp the principles behind well built databases.
