I don't think someone can really learn access on a deeper level by just reading, I think it has to be by doing and reading and investigating problem and approaching solutions to it. But yea that is what it is with most things that are details and technical oriented.
So that is what I am going to do is doing by reading too.
Answering questions here helped me enormously when I was learning Access. It made me step out of my box and see how others handled problems. I was already an experienced designer and developer so I was only learning a new environment. Because of that even in the beginning I was able to help a lot but doing it forced me to learn techniques that I might not have needed for years.
cool, thanks for sharing. everyone starts somewhere and you are right.
Right now I just know generally about what access can do and it's purpose but the details stuff, I don't know.
I think by reading, which is great and not bad at all, provides you with the concept and theory and what is out there that can be done with access but to actually know how to use it, you have do it hands on, this is my believe.
I could read it and if I don't do it, and when it comes to actually do it, I probably will get stuck a lot.
