This is a comprehensive, must-have volume for everyone working with the powerful database engine used in Microsoft Access, Excel, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Office 97, Developer Edition. The book gives complete guidance, including examples, for reusing code in many products, for combining products into custom database applications, and for using all aspects of Microsoft Jet. The CD-ROM contains all of the book's samples, useful tools, and utilities.
This is the official technical reference on Microsoft Jet, the powerful database engine used in Microsoft Access and Micosoft Visual Basic for Windows 95. If you write code that creates and manipulates a database in one of these products, you can easily use that same code in the other, or use both products together to create custom database applications. You'll learn what Jet is, how to use it, and how it compares to other database engines. Each chapter includes a simple Visual Basic program that is built upon to illustrate points throughout the discussion.
