<P>One of the measures of the success of a PC application is the number of periodicals that cover the use of the application exclusively or that devote a substantial portion of their editorial content to it. The following sections describe periodicals that are of special interest to users of either Visual C++ or Access.

<BR>

<P><I>Smart Access</I> is a monthly newsletter directed at Access developers and power users. Articles cover a variety of advanced topics, ranging from relational database design to using the Windows API functions in Access Basic. Because <I>Smart Access</I> is aimed at independent and in-house developers, many of its articles are devoted to runtime Access and the Access Distribution Kit. A diskette that includes sample databases, Access libraries, and related files accompanies each issue. <I>Smart Access</I> also offers a variety of tips and techniques for writing more effective macros and Access Basic code. You can import many of the code examples into Visual C++ forms and modules. The magazine's parent company, Pinnacle Publishing, Inc., publishes a variety of journals on other database applications. This publication is useful to Visual C++ programmers who are planning to develop Access-based applications or who want to improve their Access skills.

<P>Generally, to find the WWW page for a company, you should first try www.<I>company</I>.com, where <I>company</I> is the company name. For example, www.lotus.com is the home page for Lotus Development Corporation.

<BR>

<P>The Internet is growing and maturing at a fantastic rate. There are many excellent books on the Internet. Checking Macmillan's home page will show you which titles are available. Searching for a product or company is another way to locate products and companies. Searches are usually done using one of the popular search engines, such as Yahoo, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, or Magellan. If you're using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, simply click the search button on the toolbar to go to the <A HREF="tppmsgs/msgs3.htm#353" tppabs="http://www.msn.com/access/allinone.hv1">http://www.msn.com/access/allinone.hv1</A> search page.

<BR>

<P>A typical search would be to look for a company name, a product name, or some other word that you think is relatively unique to that company. A poorly designed search will return hundreds of possible matches, indicating that your search criteria is too broad. For example, searching for the word &quot;Microsoft&quot; wouldn't be wise. There are literally hundreds of thousands of matches for &quot;Microsoft.&quot; On the other hand, a search for &quot;Lifeboat Publishing&quot; would find a reasonable number of matches, the first of which probably would be the one you were searching for.
