Thanks Rick,

I've been working with ASP and Access for a few years now so know it 
reasonably well.

I'm now starting to work more with SQL and understand that I can speed things 
up by doing more efficient queries and Stored procedures, which is basically 
what I need to learn.

Bearing in mind that all the SQL work will be via Visual Interdev, are your 
books still relevant, or do you have any other suggestions?
