  Book Information

As part of the Microsoft Office suite, Access has become the
industry's leading desktop database management program for
organizing, accessing, and sharing information. But taking
advantage of this product to build increasingly complex
Access applications requires something more than your
typical how-to book. What it calls for is Access Hacks
from O'Reilly.

This valuable guide provides direct, hands-on solutions that
can help relieve the frustrations felt by users struggling
to master the program's various complexities. For
experienced users, Access Hacks offers a unique collection
of proven techniques and tools that enable them to take
their database skills and productivity to the next level.
For Access beginners, it helps them acquire a firm grasp of
the program's most productive features.

A smart collection of insider tips and tricks, Access Hacks
covers all of the program's finer points. Among the
multitude of topics addressed, it shows users how to:
work with Access in multi-user environments
utilize SQL queries
work with external data and programs
integrate Access with third-party products
Just imagine: a learning process without the angst. Well,
Access Hacks delivers it with ease, thanks to these
down-and-dirty techniques not collected together anywhere
else.

Part of O'Reilly's best-selling Hacks series, Access Hacks
is based on author Ken Bluttman's two decades of real-world
experience in database programming and business application
building. It's because of his vast experiences that the
book is able to offer such a deep understanding of the
program's expanding possibilities.
