Which Reference Book To buy

[Scott Achs]

I am getting ready to create an Access database for my

small business that will track inventory and customers
and other such things, but I am having a dilema on which
book to buy. There are 2 too choose from...

1) Programming Microsoft Office Access 2003 (Core
eference)
2) Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET for Microsoft
Access Databases

I have written applications in VB6 and am making the
transition to .NET now. I have purchased the .NET VB
core Reference guide.

Any idea which book would serve me better?

I want to use VB.NET to create my forms and then access
the data within access. Based upon this people say buy
#2?
I heard that that book is not good at explaining how to
use Access w/.NET. What are your opinions...

Thanks,
Scott

Forget about the first book. You are not using Access!
You are using a JET database to store data only.

I am sure one of the respondents in the previous suggest
you post the question on the second book or its equivalent
in one of the VB.NET newsgroups rather than Access. Your
emphasis is on VB.NET, not JET and certainly NOT Access.
