Using Access

[Guest]

I have a job interview next week and one of the requirements is Knowledge/use
of Access..... which I don't have!

Is it easy to use? I'm quite good with computers and tend to pick up things
easily

Is there anything you recommend I learn before the interview?

Any advice would be much appreciated?

Well, I don't think you can bluff your way through the interview. YOur best
bet would be to pick up a book on access and read it thoroughly. Any good
technical book store should have an entry level book. YOu can also find
something on the web. Google "New to Access" you will get many hits. I have
been using Access for more than 8 years now and am still learning new tricks.
Also, just read through the posts on this forum.

You could try working through Microsoft's on-line training courses at ...

A lot depends on what level of expertise the interviewer is looking for. If
they're just looking for a basic level, those courses may be enough. If
they're looking for an expert, probably not.

It is not easy to learn to program. It is worth the work however. It
can be easy to use, IF the programmer did a good job.

Do you know any programming languages? Learning Access is a lot
different than learning to use Word.

Take a course. Either a classroom course or an on-line course.

Any advice would be much appreciated?

Good Luck
