 Access 2007 VBA Programmer's Reference

Access 2007 VBA Programmer's Reference,
by Teresa Hennig, Rob Cooper
Geoff Griffith, Armen Stein

Order NOW from Amazon

"This book has extensive coverage of an area vital to Access developers and power users. ... Then the book covers VBA from the basics to in-depth advanced levels. It is a worthy successor to the Access 2003 VBA Programmer's Reference and, in my opinion, "raises the bar" for VBA books."

 RibbonX Customizing the Office 2007 Ribbon

RibbonX Customizing the Office 2007 Ribbon
by Robert Martim, Ken Puls and Teresa Hennig

         Order NOW from Amazon

 

From the fundamentals through complete examples for Access, Excel and Word, this book provides the information and walks you through the steps to customize and create Ribbons in all three programs.

In the words of one reviewer:

Everything about the Ribbon is new; all serious developers will need, and many others will want, to know how to customize it, and this book tells you how to do it. The authors have done a splendid job of explaining it all without assuming any prior knowledge, guiding the reader through the jungle of VBA and XML in three different applications. It is a huge subject and different people will want different things from it; the book is packed (but not cluttered) with clear cross-references so that you don't have to read everything to get up and running with the particular thing you want to do. No matter what your ability or experience you will learn from this book, I already have. As computer books go, it's better than most, it's cheap, and worth far more: buy it!

Book Recommended for Access with SQL Server

SQL: Access to SQl Server
by Susan Harkins and Martin Reid

$34.97 -- 800 pages

 Click book to see at Amazon.com

This is the first book of its kind! Microsoft Access uses a specific dialect of SQL known as Jet SQL to communicate with the Jet Engine. This book shows you how to talk directly to the Jet, bypassing the query design window. Why would you want to? You can't really take advantage of all the Jet has to offer until you can speak its language. The first part teaches you the rules and syntax you'll need to master to talk Jet SQL. The second and third sections show you how to upside an Access database to an Access Project and discusses some of the changes the Access Developer will face when working with SQL Server, including Stored Procedures, Functions, and Views. These sections are full of helpful hints and warnings. Understanding Jet SQL opens new possibilities to more efficient solutions that are easier to build than conventional methods allow -- once you know the language.
