Can anyone recommend a book on Access please? In the old days I used
to buy the GLR Developer's Handbook which I must say I did find useful
when I could understand what they were talking about. In other words,
I've been around Access for a long time but don't often have to
program and, when I do, I need my hand holding

Why don't you Google for this ??
I find this when I look for "recommend a book on Access" in cdma: 1690 =
results
http://groups.google.nl/group/comp.databases.ms-access/searc h?hl=3Dnl&q=3D=
recommend+a+book+on+Access+&start=3D10&sa=3DN&hl=3Dnl&
Add words like 'beginner' or 'novice' to limit the results.

I can find plenty of books by googling but I thought that a
recommendation from this group would be a better way of helping me
make a decision

GLR? Do you mean Letwin, Getz, and Gilbert? Their Access Developers
Handbook is probably still the best there is.

Seconded. Good Long Read ;-)
Oh excellent. Thank you. I thought they'd bowed out because when I
went to the web address I have (http://www.developershandbook.com/) I
found it was seceral years out of date
Hmmm, only seems to have got as far as Access 2002. Perhaps not that
many developer changes between that and 2003...

And it has grown to two volumes.

There were no significant changes between A2002 and A2003 from a developers
perspective. A few nice GUI things but nothing that would be relevant from the ADH
point of view.
To me the ADH is still very relevant. Even though I haven't cracked mine open for a
year or two.

I got so confused as to whether I should buy the desktop, VBA or
Enterprise version of this book that I ended up buying the Access 2003
Bible instead, although I'll add the ADH when I can figure out which
version I need

I don't know what you want to do (writing code?) and what version of
Access, but my wife and I develop our product in 2003 and we both like
Alison Balter's "Mastering Access 2003" and "Mastering Microsoft
Access 2003" (Microsoft Press). We also still use the Getz 97 book
all the time.
