What's the best way to teach Microsoft Access to yourself?

1 Answer

Answer :

There’s plenty of resources to be found when Googling for “microsoft access tutorials”. Here’s the first result, which is a great resource. I’ve used it in the past. The #1 best way to learn it is to get deep into it and muck around. It’s not really that hard of a program, and is much easier if you know about databases to begin with. I’d also recommend looking in your library to see if they have Access help books or guides – since Access has been around for a long time, the chances of them having such a book are very high (at least in my town’s library this is true).
