As far as books for Access are concerned, I am largely self taught over a few
years with Access, much more proficient with Excel so I can only pass on the
same information that was given me by Ron Hinds in January 2006 as follows
Litwin and Getz - these guys have written Access books for several versions
(titled Acess xxx Developer's Handbook where xxx is the version) and they
are an excellent place to start.
I hope this helps
