I am interested in learning ACCESS 2003. I am wanting a to know if anyone
could provide me with a list of books that would aid me in teaching myself.
I thought about taking a couple of classes at the local community college;
but I figured in the long run I could buy several books cheaper than it
would cost to take the classes.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Learning styles differ - a book that's great for me might be annoying for you
and vice versa. It may be worthwhile spending a couple of hours at a good
bookstore; pull a stack of Access books off the shelf, get a latte or a cup of
tea, and browse through them. Try to answer some specific question using each
book (to test the index and table of contents, crucial features that are all
too often overlooked); see if the explanations and examples work for you.
And there is nothing better than experience working with real problems (with
guidance and advice, from books or online tutorials or this newsgroup) to keep
from going too far astray.
