When using software products with graphical interfaces, particularly a powerful database product like Microsoft Access, novice (and sometimes even experienced) programmers are so concerned with how something is done that they frequently overlook the core concepts and techniques necessary to create effective database applications. For Access programmers and power-users who want to really get under the hood of Access, O'Reilly has just-released the second edition of the bestselling book "Access Database Design & Programming". "Access Database Design & Programming, Second Edition" covers Access' new VBA Integrated Development Environment used by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; the VBA language itself; Microsoft's latest data access technology, Active Data Objects (ADO); and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). But unlike other massive (some may say bloated) computer tomes, Steve Roman's clear, succinct style gets to the point--thoroughly delving into Access database design in 409 pages (including index). A sample chapter, Chapter 4: Database Design Principles, is free online at: http://www.ora.com/catalog/accessdata2/ For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.ora.com/catalog/accessdata2/ Access Database Design & Programming, 2nd Edition By Steve Roman 2nd Edition August 1999 (US) 1-56592-626-9, 432 pages, $27.95 (US$) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1-800-998-9938 http://www.oreilly.com ### top://www.oreilly.com Lisa Mann @ O'Reilly & Associates 101 Morris St., Sebastopol, CA 95472 707-829-0515 ext. 230 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oreilly.com +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Go to http://www.oreilly.com for the latest news, articles, and publications from O'Reilly. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you no longer wish to receive the Ora-News Please send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the BODY of the Message to read: unsubscribe ora-news Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with any problems. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
