[AccessD] How to learn Access

Hello All,

A co-worker called and asked my opinion on the best way for someone to learn 
Access.  He asked about the following links: ( i thnk they are tutorials or 
something)

I've personally never taken any class/course related to access...I just said 
Yes, I can do that, and then went figure out how...so I'm kinda limited in 
what I can suggest as a more orthodox method of learning.

If someone you never met asked "How do I 'learn' access?"...what direction 
would you send them?

Thanks Again,

Mark A. Matte
