Here are some Access tutorials and links which might be helpful. Do note that
Excel does not have fieldnames, Access does; and that Access is NOT a flawed
implementation of Excel nor is it "Excel on Steroids", it's a very different
program with very different conceptual bases!

If you like video tutorials you may like to try the Access training on
Lynda.com (no connection). There are some good free samples, and the
monthly subscription isn't onerous.
