Hi!
I am a comeback database developer using MS Access (last time was 1998). I
kindly ask for your recommendation of a good book(s) that can be used as
Jump starter, and reference. (more than one book is OK)..
Thanks

I recommend three things:
1. Read this page and all its 2003 links and study its 2003 sample
databases.

(if the link above is cut and pasted it must be put back together as
one line).
2. Learn how to use the object browser. Open a standard module and
press F2; almost everything is there; you have only to read and test;
3. Ask general questions here. Have your bull-shit detector serviced
and ready;
4. If you don't have a background in mathematics read some articles on
set theory; yes everyone laughs when I say this but I believe some
knowledge of set theory will help a lot in conceptualizing one's
database work. At the very least it should help you to avoid idiocies
such as "one-to-many" relationships and "dates are doubles".
