Hi Bill, - Tables are Tables, - Views are like Queries, but be aware a view alone does not honour the "ORDER BY" - you need to specify that when you call the view Ie: SELECT * FROM vMyView ORDER BY Blah Stored Procedures are like Action Queries and/or VBA Code Modules. They are basically packages of pre-formed code that you call. One fast and easy way to create views or even Sprocs is to use MS Access's own GUI query builder and copy the SQL code from there into the Code window for the view. Sometimes you will need to go view Notepad (or similar) to clean up the text - much of it you can drop right in, but there are some syntax differences between SQL Server and Access with SQL code. Anyway. That is a 10 second place to start.

I have not seen much T-SQL before so watching all these complex scripts get written and dumped to the query editor as I do things is pretty intimidating. I thought I could cut my learning curve a bit by downloading the AdventureWorks database. But that is a pretty sophisticated animal, at least in 2012 and later. I think I have to take a step back and ask myself what I am trying to learn. Telling myself I am trying to learn SQL server is a bit nebulous and overly ambitious. But when a job description says experience with SSRS and SSIS a plus ... And I want the job... I want to at least demonstrate I can do something. In case you are wondering if there is a question here... Not really. I feel too I whelmed to even ask a question.
