How to learn to use Access Program

[Nimish Shah]

HI,

I am regularly using Excel since last 8 years, not adavnaced but still use
formulas like Vlookup, Sumproduct etc etc.

I have always thought that Access would be more better for my work, but i
could never learn it. Please suggest how to learn Access and make the best
use of it.

Regards,

Nimish

Here's some resources to consider. It would be worth getting one of the books
referenced therein - John Viescas and Jeff Conrad's Access 2003 Inside Out is
one, there are many good ones with different styles.

Note that THE first - and probably most difficult - lesson to learn is
Normalization: how relational tables should be constructed. Once you have a
good foundation in your tables, building Forms, Reports, and Queries is much
more straightforward. If your tables aren't right, your application won't be
either!
