Re: Access is just to hard to understand

Hi Tom -- I don't know what your cc class in Access was like, but I too, had
struggled with books galore (a cubic yard of them, which were very helpful
as a weight-training device, but not much help to me, as I didn't even know
what questions to look up in them initially), online tutorials, etc., and
still, very little real understanding of "how it all works". I did finally
find a tool that helped me very much, as I tend to learn experientially, and
visually -- (I hope I am not breaking the terms of service of this NG by
what I am about to type -- I have no association with the company I'm about
to name except as a satisfied customer). It is a company called 599cd, and
they have a step by step, audio/visual course that had me up and designing
in a few days. The teacher insists that you learn to design "from scratch"
(using wizards very conservatively), then introduces a little VBA and some
of the bells and whistles. It gave me a good understanding of how to design
tables and forms and how they relate.
Hope that helps,
Carol
