A retired old coot takes on Access (1 Viewer)

[DataAmatuer]

Hello to everyone in this forum. I have been fiddling around with Access for years. In my work, I primarily used Excel but often felt that Access (or some dB software) would be a superior solution. After retiring, I have started studying Access through books and online courses. And I am trying to apply what I learn by way of building a dB for my own investment portfolio that will quickly give me the information that I want, in one place, without having to open multiple Excel spreadsheets. I am finding it interesting, challenging, and even compelling. But sometimes I get stuck for days on a problem (usually having to do with VBA syntax or VBA errors). I think that this forum may help me reduce my "stuck" time. And, who knows, maybe occasionally I can be of help to someone else who is stuck.
Thank you all for being here and being willing to assist.

I did not know the word "covert" as a group of coots!
