Desingner question
Self study is probably by far your best bet. We have seen over and over here
posters who said they completed one or more courses and were disapointed with what they had learned. There are some excellent self study books out there. Spend time creating an outline of whtat you think you need to know then post your outline here for comments. Once you have a solid outline, then come back again for recommendatios on books that will meet your goals. Steve "Amin" wrote in message ...

Get some of the books (if you can find a copy of Rebecca Riordan's _Designing Relational Database Systems_ grab it; and look *hard* for it, it's out of print). Getz, Litwin and Gilbert's _Access 2002 Developer's Handbook_ published by Sybex is huge, expensive, and worth ten times its price. Anything by John Viescas is a goldmine as well. -- John W.

Anything by John Viescas is a goldmine as well. Personally, I would start with 1. #2 is for ADP's (backend is SQL Server), and if you've never used SQL Server, it's more stuff you likely won't understand. And there's enough in #1 to keep you learning for a LONG time. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...ccess/201005/1 |
