From: Steve on 27 May 2010 17:03 Self study is probably by far your best bet. We have seen over and over here posters who said they completed one or more courses and were disapointed with what they had learned. There are some excellent self study books out there. Spend time creating an outline of whtat you think you need to know then post your outline here for comments. Once you have a solid outline, then come back again for recommendatios on books that will meet your goals.

Here are some resources I've found valuable: Jeff Conrad's resources page: http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/accessjunkie/resources.html The Access Web resources page: http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/index.html Roger Carlson's tutorials, samples and tips: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/ A free tutorial written by Crystal: http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html A video how-to series by Crystal: http://www.YouTube.com/user/LearnAccessByCrystal MVP Allen Browne's tutorials: http://allenbrowne.com/links.html#Tutorials And then there's... practice, practice, practice. Work with some tolerant, helpful, openminded clients (for a very low fee, explaining ahead of time that you're still learning) to get experience with real problems, real users, and real data. Get some of the books (if you can find a copy of Rebecca Riordan's _Designing Relational Database Systems_ grab it; and look *hard* for it, it's out of print). Getz, Litwin and Gilbert's _Access 2002 Developer's Handbook_ published by Sybex is huge, expensive, and worth ten times its price. Anything by John Viescas is a goldmine as well. -- John W.
