The Access Developer Handbook (by Litwin, Getz, et. al.) is an essential
book for Access developers. However, a beginner might find it a bit
intimidating; I know I do!

If I had to pick just one... it would be Running Access by Viescas.. Others
might have different (and equally valid!) recommendations..

See the recommended lists by John Viescas:

or the one by FMS Inc:

For SQL Server, I use Kalen Delaney's Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 but I
have not used other books so I can't say which one is best but Kalen
Delaney's suit my purpose at the moment. There are plenty of SQL Server
books so you can browse at a well-stocked bookshop.

Web Sites:

www.mvps.org/access/ The motherlode!
users.bigpond.net.au/abrowne1/tips.html
www.lebans.com
www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm
members.rogers.com/douglas.j.steele/AccessIndex.html
www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/

This is a short list of sites that come quickly to mind; there are many
more!

In addition, I would also strongly suggest the rest of the Microsoft Access
newsgroups at:

microsoft.public.access... etc..

More than anything else, I have found the free answers offered by kind
experts in relevant newsgroups to be invaluable. I have had hundreds of
questions answered over the last year or two, and continue to be grateful!

Finally you might find the following useful (and possibly humorous!)...

That's out of print, but Rebecca has a revised, new version titled
_Designing Effective Database Systems_. It just came out a few months
ago.
