Hi,

Long story short, I'm a help desk professional who was recently hired to a small business for quite a bit more than was on my resume. In the last two weeks, I've been subjected fast-track training in both specialized duties and Access coding. My prior experience with Access was limited to throwing together an extremely messy inventory tracker. While I'm a fast learner, I'm also bright enough to realize that I've missed a lot of things along the way. I suppose such things are to be expected when you go from "Combo boxes are hard" to "SelectCase functions are a pain" in a couple weeks.

So, here I am. What I was hoping some of you kind folks could help me with is references to material that I may have missed along the way. FAQ's, examples, anything...I'm willing to do a heck of a lot of leg-work to learn, so I don't bother people with stupid questions, but I don't even know which way is up anymore.

Thanks,

If you are into theory and description search by posts from The_Doc_Man

If you are into application/code search for posts by

ps..

There are dozens of other fully qualified members of this forum that could help you also. I could "Name Drop" until I was blue in the face, but you get the picture.

Here are some resources to start from. Something I would suggest, is that as you work your way through this stuff, and you get into programming the applications yourself, just come out to this forum whenever you come across an issue or hangup and you will more than likely be able to resolve it.
