Apologies for repeating what has probably been asked before although my
newsreader can't find anything! I'd appreciate any advice on Access books and Related websites etc for someone used to SQL and Databases but completely new to MS Access. Thanks for any advice, Mickey ps. I bought MS Access Step by Step and have read that one. |

Okay, if you have used SQL Server, you are familiar with normalization (data
schemas) and querying (SQL views/procedures.) That knowledge will apply directly to the way you create your tables, relationships, and queries in Access.

As well as the data engine, Access gives you: - user interface: forms and subforms - reporting: reports - macros and VBA code: an entire programming language. The book you read would have introduced you to those concepts. I imagine you are therefore up to the place where you are trying to do specific things, i.e. you are asking how to apply the general concepts you've learned to the specific project you are working on.
