Access Hacks

Taking advantage of this software to build increasingly complex Access applications requires something other than the product documentation and typical "how-to" guides. For those who are excited to explore Access programming, Access Hacks offers plenty of tried-and-true techniques and deeper understanding of the program's expanding possibilities. This hands-on guide is based on author Ken Bluttman's two decades of real-world experience in database programming and business application building, and teaches power users many tricks and tools used by professionals-yet the book is still within the grasp of beginners. Readers will find hacks that show them how to work with Access in a multi-user environment, utilize SQL queries, work with external data and programs, and integrate Access with third-party products. Concise and to the point, Access Hacks goes well beyond the books that show how to "create a database for your CD collection."
