Access Basics is a 100 page document with screen shots, designed for those of you with a thirst to understand the fundamentals of Access (with programming in mind ... whether you realize it or not ). If you are not a programmer (yet ), you will become one — because that is where the deepest power of Access gets unleashed.

Thanks also to the following UA VIPs for their valuable feedback: Brent Spaulding (datAdrenaline), John Mishefske (mishej), John Viescas (JohnLVMVP), Truitt Bradley (truittb), and Tom Wickerath (TomWickerath) ... and thank you Gord.

Access Basics chapters are saved individually as PDF files. There are 8 chapters and one for the TOC and List of Figures. Your browser will need a plug-in for Acrobat Reader -- so, if you have not yet installed it, allow your browser to go get it.

Here is a link to the page for looking at chapters: Access Basics

When you do open a chapter, from your browser menu, choose -->File, Print

Gather all the printouts together and put them where you won't lose them, like in a binder

Print out each chapter of Access Basics

Get a highlighter and a pencil,

Make some coffee or tea,

Get cozy in your favorite chair,

... and open your mind ...

PS
when I tested the pages, I did a File, Print ... but the Print dialog box was hidden behind another window on my second monitor — all of a sudden, everything disappeared! I thought something was wrong so started closing windows to re-boot, then I saw it. Just wanted to let you know in case something similar happens to you.
