Hi, everyone!

I'm Crae, but prefer to go by CV. I'm new to Access in its entirety- in the sense that the first time I opened it I thought it was just a glorified Excel workbook. I'm currently only really working on one project and was told Access would be the best way to design it and display it for other users to use; you'll probably see a lot of questions from me as I'm way out of my depth with SQL, VBA, and all the other acronyms that make my head spin.

I'm hoping to get to know Access and y'all better as I work on this project and learn a lot from your analytical brains.

Have a great week!

Hello, CV, and welcome. Yes, Access initially LOOKS similar to spreadsheets because an Access datasheet sort of, kind of, maybe sometimes acts like a spreadsheet. But then again, no. For someone used to spreadsheets, Access makes you think harder because of the more complex structures you can choose to achieve your result.
