I have now used the book Inside Out and most of its sources. Is there another book or another resource I can use for references that is more advanced or more in depth?

I'm not familiar with that book. I have read a couple of others and the one I consider to be the best reference is "Access xxxx Developer's Handbook", where xxxx is the version. The version (2000) I have is by Getz/Litwin/Gilbert. Much of the info is not version dependent, so I still use techniques from the 2000 book in 2007.

Any other opinions? I was looking through the web and found this to be interesting

I have not read that book, but I've met 3 of the authors, and know at least 2 of them to be very knowledgeable. Armen in particular is an excellent speaker and probably a good author.

The book that you recommended, why do you find it to be the best reference? Did it have VBA references or mainly design help?

It has both. Here's a review that I'm sure will describe it better than I can:

Sadly, it looks like the 2002 edition was the last. I would still say most of the techniques and code are relevant and still work in 2007 and 2010, but a case could be made for getting something more current.
