 Interesting book but WAY over my head February 13, 2008

I am an experienced Access developer. I was looking for insight into how Jet works, especially in aspects of replication where I was encountering corruption. The book was WAY over my head.

Not only does this book go into great detail about how the whole Jet Database Engine works, it describes the whole structure of the Workspaces Data Access Object Model. The information in this book has helped me countless times when I've needed to get information about tables, queries, recordsets, fields to show to users. I was even able to create my own report wizard in VB, and it works just like the one in Access! This book will teach you TONS about the way the Jet Database engine works, and works great as a reference. If more programmers knew the information contained in this book, there wouldn't be as much confusion going on.
