Alison Balter's Mastering Access 95 Development

This must be one of the best - if not the best - development books I have invested in - hard earned UK £'ss (yep, that's a lot more than some of you yanks have to pay!!!)Examples and explainations excellent. It certainly plugged some of the gaps I had.

I have been using this book as my primary reference for the past 2 years. Not only does Ms Balter present the basics in a clear and concise manner, the advanced topics included have allowed me to really exploit the power of Access 95. Our organization is migrating to Access 2000 within the year, and I am eagerly awaiting the release of the next edition of this excellent manual.

This is a great book for an individual who wants to learn more about developing applications for Access 95. The author is very concise and doesn't leave the reader guessing about what she is trying to accomplish in her examples. The book probably isn't for an absolute beginner, but you could learn the essentials from here even if you are a beginner. I found that this book is my most popular reference handbook. It doesn't collect dust on the shelf like others that I have. I just wish the author would write a book on Visual Basic 6.0 next.
