Microsoft Access 97/Visual Basic Step by Step is a general introduction to Microsoft Access with a focus on Visual Basic. The book assumes prior Access experience, but does fully describe all of the features required to understand the Visual Basic programs. The book contains a set of powerful examples, such as how to build a custom Web browser with just a few lines of code and how to set up an automated payment system. Happily, the book comes with a CD-ROM that contains all of the code described in the book. --Jake Bond
