New User of Access Data Projects

[CS]

Where can I find the MOST basic intro for using ADP files
(Internet Link and/or Book). I've always just set up
standard Access databases, but now I'm told we need to
start using ADP files.

Thanks.

The only book is "Microsoft Access Projects with Microsoft SQL Server" (Ralf
Albrecht and Natasha Nicol, Microsoft Press, 2002) and is probably the only
usefull reference available.

You can also find some chapters in books dealing with Access used in an
enterprise development, for example in the Litwin/Getz/Gunderloy, but
nothing to make you hit the wall.

Finally, any good books on SQL-Server will be welcome.

You can also try to make a search on the internet, but probably you won't
find anything really interesting.

Who told you that? I use ADP files because I have ADP projects in production,
and it's too late to change that now. I certainly wouldn't start now using a
system Microsoft never made work quite right, and isn't putting a lot of
energy into fixing. I'd pass this on to whomever is saying you "need" to
start using ADP files.
