Question : Suggested Reading

I would like to work through a book on Access development and am hoping to hear your
recommendations.  I'm looking for something that covers the application features as well
as programming, akin to Excel books like Microsoft's Excel 200# Programming, Walkenback's
Excel 200# Power Programming, and Bullen/Bovey/Green's Professional Excel Development.
I see from Amazon there are quite a few offerings.  I have been working with data and VBA
for several years, but it's all self taught and consequently I'm not well grounded.  Something
that goes over those areas as well would be nice.

Mike
