Hi from GA - USA!

Call me Tiff,

I know basic Access and have had some college classes on Access in the 90's. I have recently been tasked with maintaining multiple Access databases at my company. I have taken it over due to downsizing and am the only "knowledgeable" one to handle it #OMG, #SCARY! However, I was given a crash course over a 2 week span about these databases regarding functionality and use. I am an expert in Excel and hold 2 degrees in Business so I hope I will be successful . It's been one month on my own and so far so good. Today, I have finally been stumped and have joined this forum in hopes to get my questions answered. I am asking in advance to forgive me for the amount of stupid questions I am going to ask.

Looking forward to learning many new things and becoming an Access guru!

Welcome Tiff! Being an Excel expert, your main hurdle is likely to be that the way we store data in a relational database is different than you would in a spreadsheet.

Hi Paul! Yes, quite different. Before Access my primary duties were 100% in Excel. Now, Access is and about 30% Excel. It is difficult making that transition back and forth on a daily basis. Not to mention I support a team and have to be well versed in both. I love a challenge!

Thanks for responding!
