Good reference book

[Cat Chowdy]

Hi,

I recently inherited a new client with an Access front end to mySQL data. I
am a long time developer in many languages but this is my first real need to
understand Access. Can someone recommend a good reference book for Access
for an experienced programmer?

Thanks,
Cat

Access 97 Developer's Handbook by Paul Litwin, Ken Getz & Mike Gilbert and
published by SYBEX - (There are newer versions obviously!)

Search this forum, this question has been answered before you'll find
numerous valueable programmer's books.
