Allen Browne's tips for Microsoft Access Allen Browne is one of the web's leading authorities on Access. Several of his articles are the standard reference for the topic at hand. Allen is also the most often cited cataloguer of Access bugs and the related work-arounds.
The Access Web This site, established way back in '98, features tips and solutions from several Access MVPs. The code samples posted here are always clean and effective. Often you won't find a lot of text, but you will find code that works. The solutions here are cited all over the web as the best way to get things done.
Stephen Lebans' site is the authority on the web for some types of solutions. It's a site every Access developer should know. You'll find tips, plus downloadable working solutions ranging from zooming images in and out, to disabling the mouse scroll wheel, to a calendar, to creating PDF files. In particular I look to Stephen's site first for advanced topics related to forms and reports, especially interacting with the Windows API.
