I second this suggestion. Anything by WROX is great, including the
Smith/Sussman book which I use daily.

Yes, well I suppose if you're a beginner it might do. I also think that if
you're a beginner then you DON'T want serious misinformation like that on
page 205. 'Table-type Recordset Objects. This is the default type for any
Recordset objects where the records come from a single local or ATTACHED
ACCESS TABLES' - my capitals.

Perhaps those who are reccomending this book could explain.

Mike,

I have recommended this book many times in the past. As I'm sure you are probably aware, most
books of any subject matter contain some errors. This book is no different.

I'd suggest that you spend some time looking at the published errata page for this book:
http://www.wrox.com/books/errata/076...0_errata.shtml

You will see a correction for the said mentioned error on page 205.

Tom
