Advanced training in Access

[Guest]

hey
I have recently graduated from a community college with a degree in "Business computer programming" with a main focus on AS400--COBOL--RPG. The economy being what it is there are not alot of jobs coming open that require those specific skills in my area. I am currently working for a PC Training department and feel way over my head. I had an Access class using the Printice Hall book but after I started looking around in the newsgroup I discovered just how little I really know. Are there books that go farther in depth into Access. I'm planning to take my MOUS exam after the first of the year. I feel ready for that but I would like to go deeper than just a MOUS certificate

Thanks
Glenda

My favorite book on Access programming so far is a two-volume set from
Sybex, titled "Access 2002 Desktop Developer's Handbook" and "Access 2002
Enterprise Developer's Handbook" by Litwin, Getz, and Gunderloy. Even after
going thru these massive volumes thoroughly, I realize how little I really
know about Access when I read the responses from the pros here in this
newsgroup. But those books are very well written and illustrated, and I
learned a lot from them. Incidentally, check out BookPool.com for truly low
prices on books. I saved about $40 on this set.
