message from Cheryl on 20 May 2004
I am just starting to use access and need some help (baby steps). Can anyone suggest training, reference, or tutorials that start with the basics. Thanks, Cheryl

If you live in Denver, or would like to visit Denver, check out the Access classes at www.ScoBiz.com.

You won't find better instructor-led Access classes anywhere! :-)
