  • Beginners should look at:

    "Fast Track to MDX" ISBN: 1-852-33681-1

    Good beginners stuff but lacking in detail.

    More expirenced users will need:

    "MDX Solutions", George Spofford, Wiley ISBN: 0-471-40046-7

    as suggested by hoosierpride also. Gets right down to the tough stuff but serious hard going. It's the best reference I've found on MDX yet.

    I've sent in a beginners guide to MDX as an article, but I haven't heard back about it yet...
