In this chapter, I will simply discuss how I went about finding out information for this book. The resources that I used regularly for this book included

*   The help files from all the versions of Access used in the book. For Access 2000 or later, don’t forget to widen your search by also trying the help within the VBA Environment.

*   I must say that I resolved most of the really complicated and open-ended issues using Google. Of particular value with Google was the Groups tab at the Top of the page as shown in Figure 1-3. Another important thing with Google that I am sure would apply to other search engines was to include very particular words in the search. This usually means doing two searches to find the topic of information. In some cases, when I searched for particular errors, I would simply type in the error description exactly as it appeared in Access. No doubt, there will be other Googles in the future.

*   For insight into programming workgroup security, I turned to the Access Developers Handbook -Enterprise Edition written by Litwin, Getz and Gilbert. Surprisingly my book really doesn’t include much of the detailed programming of Workgroup security demonstrated in this book as that seemed to not be as important as keeping the password crackers at bay.

*   As ever, my source of inspiration for Access programming is the Smart Access magazine and I have certainly learned my trade reading that magazine from cover to cover every time the convict cargo ship arrives in Australia with the mail.

*   Many of the discussions in the book were supported by the many hundreds of accurate articles, white papers and web pages posted by Microsoft on their web site about Microsoft Access. Surprisingly though, as I writing the book, I generally had better luck finding the articles using Google and restricting my search to only use the Microsoft web site.

*   This list would not be complete without a list of newsgroups where people might actually answer your Access questions.
