[AccessD] Swelling database

Barbara,

I'm sure others will have manual/book suggestions...but other than this AccessD...the most helpful thing for me learning was a combination of the HELP files and Northwind/Samples databases.  Although I'm not crazy about the HELP in versions past 97...Northwind continues to give useful examples...in my opinion.


Good Luck,

Mark A. Matte

> All of the above, although really only one major table/form plus a few queries. Lots of text in memo fields but only nine fields. Really simple and dumb. I'm learning a lot from you. (Does anyone know of a good basic manual? I think I've seen them all and they never have what I'm looking for.) Thanks again,
