Summary: Missing CD hurts...
Comment: A good book to have on the shelf- will stimulate the thinking of intermediate level Access developers onto greater things.
Nice chapters dedicated to using Access 2002 as a front end to SQL Server and Oracle. If you are planning to do that, by all means this book is a great guide. Also, the first couple of chapters about application development are great for those developers who must spend as much time in the corporate board room pitching their ideas to computer illiterate bosses as they do with actual programming.
BUT: In several places in the book, the authors make reference to the 'CD included with the book.' Well guess what? There is none, but if you want to learn about and use Active X controls through the use of working examples, you will have to look elsewhere.
Most painful is that the authors tantalize you with nice definitions and screenshots of ActiveX controls, and then tell the readers that they should "See this chapter's application on the book's CD-ROM for code examples." ARG! No examples makes learning this stuff really tough!
If you don't care about Active X, or already know your stuff, then you won't be missing anything. Presumably though, you are purchasing this book precisly BECAUSE you want to learn this stuff. The lack of CD hurts especially when the authors omitted printed details from the book, fully expecting those details to appear in CD form.
I don't fault the authors. I fault Sams Publishing. On the bright side, the lack of Active X examples is the only major sore part in this otherwise useful intermediate guide.

Summary: Great introduktion
Comment: The first 100 pages where realy great for all kind of developers.
It's not just for Access people.
Missing the CD and there are some copying from the 2000 version.
Still an importent book
