What is your opinion and experience?

Hello All,
I am currently using Access 2000/2002. I was wondering if the following product was worth the investment? The product that I was wondering is from FMS. The products are Total Access Components and Total Visual SourceBook. Any opinon or experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I purchased FMS Total Access Components and have not found it to be of much good. The documentation requires an advanced knowledge of Access and VBA and the form resizer is not as good as the one offered for free at http://www.developershandbook.com/default.asp. If you want your tabs in a different a location other than the default upper left hand corner or if you want rotated text it works but not without a lot of work to implement.

3rd Party Products?

Hello Autoeng,
Thanks for responding and your experience. I tried the link you posted for the form resizer and the site is under construction. Do you know where else I could get the form resizer. Also do you have any experience on the other product from FMS? The product is Total Visual Sourcebook? From the add it seems like a good resource for a beginner to advanced programmers doing VBA.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

No experience with the FMS product but everyone I know really recommends The Access Developers Handbook. Also take a look at this thread about the same subject.
