Recomend SQL Book
First thing I would recommend is posting this question in an Access news
group. This newsgroup is for Excel. Dave -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem.

Recomend SQL Book
The big problem is that most Access books are about Access, with a bit of
SQL chucked in. The next problem is that they move into teaching you how to write SQL, the syntax etc. I use O'Reilly's Transact-SQL Programming, but that flavour of SQL is SQL-Server and Sybase specific, so probably doesn't suit. Martin Green recommends SQL: Access to SQL Server Susan Sales Harkins, Martin Reid Apress ISBN: 1893115305 but that seems more like a migration tome. It sounds that you want to have a problem solving book that uses SQL as the tool. Maybe SQL Queries for Mere Mortals (English) (A Hands-On Guide to Data Manipulation in SQL - ISBN: 0201433362) Publisher: Addison-Wesley or SQL Cookbook By Anthony Molinaro or Access Database Design and Programming, Second Edition By Steven Roman, Ph.D. Those are not recommendations, I have only read the one, and I have no vested interest in any of them. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Phil" wrote in message ...

Recomend SQL Book
This week I needed SQL help, and got a lot through a combination of 'SQL for
Dummies' and Google (which is like 'Everything for Dummies'). - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Phil" wrote in message ...
