Microsoft Access is still the most popular home and small office database, with an almost 80 percent share of the market. It is also used as a front end to Microsoft's highly popular SQL Server database. The new version includes lots of new functionality: enhanced XML support, improved compatibility with other parts of the Office suite, and the first step toward future integration with Microsoft's .NET platform (which will make Web computing easier than ever).
This book is suitable for professional Access programmers/developers who already know the essentials of database development - and 'wannabes' who want to become Access gurus.
The companion CD-ROM contains an unparalleled collection of working sample code and applications, for manipulating forms, retrieving file version information, working with the Registry, using common dialogues, and more. Readers get not just the VBA code, but all the tables (with sample data), queries, forms, reports - everything you need to get up and running. Readers also get a collection of useful shareware utilities and demos of commercial Access add-in products.
