Hello,

I need to create a relatively simple database with a few forms in MS Access. Could anyone recommend a decent tutorial on the subject? (developint 'apps' in MS Access)

I googled, but I god a bunch of similar titles as a result, and I'd like to learn basics relatively quickly.

Application will be used only to enable a medical team to enter data about a specific treatment, and they refused to enter info in a web app (which would make my life easy).

Thank you

Just a couple of places I know of that have good information.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/overview-RZ006118141.aspx?section=1 gives a good overview of what Access is and the basic components.

http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html is a decent tutorial. Crystal started this awhile ago and it looks like she's abandoned the project, but she does a good job covering the basics.

http://www.mvps.org/access/tencommandments.htm gives 10 commandments that every Access database designer should keep in mind when creating a database.

http://www.mvps.org/access/ is a great resource for all sorts of odds and ends when you have specific issues you are trying to deal with.

Good luck on your journey to learn Access!

Weird, her's is linked to Allen Browne's site in the second listing. She's got it up in a couple places apparently.
