Book Suggestions for the Access beginner

[Mindy Sterling]

I am already in the IT field (networking and admin) but would like to become
more involved in Access, I know the very basics and how things kinda work,
but I would like alittle more in depth book maybe with some projects or some
real world scenarios for building and maintaing Access DB.

Can anyone suggest a book or 2 or some helpful sites?

I've been lurking here in the Newsgroups for a few days and I am really
interested in this stuff.

Thanks~

Mindy

I like Roger Jennings' Using Access {YourVersion} published by QUE.
However, the best way to find the book that suitable for you is to browse a
well-stocked bookshop.
