When we acquired some of the Wrox assets, we were not able to locate the print files for this particular book, nor was the printer able to provide files suitable for reprinting.

The only option we had to keep the book in print was to scan and reprint the pages. This was the only title that was reprinted this way.

At the time, amidst the flurry of building the new Wrox, this seemed the right thing to do in order to keep the book available for our readers, who depend on Wrox for solutions like the ones found in Beginning Access 2002 VBA. The other choice would to have been to let the book go out of print.

In hindsight, perhaps this was not the best option, but is certainly an isolated incident. Regardless, you will not see Wrox reprinting any other titles in this manner.

Beginning Access 2003 VBA is underway, and will be available in the fall.
