Access 2003 review
I think this is a great book! I not only have one for home (for my personal use) -- but, also have one at work for my work use


I have to work with databases that were created well before I arrived and sometimes it is difficult to figure out what someone else has done

Maybe you got Access as part of Microsoft Office and wonder what it can do for you and your household; maybe you're a small business manager and don't have a techie on staff to train the office in Microsoft Access

Regardless, you want to quickly get your feet wet--but not get in over your head--and `Access 2003 for Starters: The Missing Manual` is the book to make it happen

Far more than a skimpy introduction but much less daunting than a weighty tech book, `Access 2003 for Starters: The Missing Manual` demystifies databases and explains how to design and create them with ease

As the most popular database management program on the market, Microsoft Access didn't need much improvement

But with the release of Access 2003, Microsoft managed to further enhance the way people organize, access, and share information



In this new version, Access is more capable than ever, thanks to additional features like automatic error checking, automatic property updating, and the expanded ability to import, export, and work with Extensible Markup Language (XML) data files

This book is designed to take Microsoft Access users to the next step in programming

Its five parts cover an intro-duction to VBA programming, manipulating databases with ADO, using DDL, event programming, and using ASP and XML

With more than 300 hands-on examples and 11 custom projects, users can quickly build the toolset required for developing their own database solutions

* Covers all features of VBA programming for Access database applications
* Begins with an overview of VBA and highlights what's new in Microsoft Access 2003, the most popular database system in the world
* Real-world code examples demonstrate each programming topic, including using the Access Object Model, VBA execution and error handling, creating database objects with VBA, writing secure VBA code, and much more
* Shows how Access 2003 provides enhanced XML support, making it easier for programmers to publish data to the Web and exchange it with other organizations
