Okay, the question is basically if it would make sense for me to learn access. If you are a fanatic and believe Access is the best thing ever and everyone should learn it, please refrain from answering.
I am a Realtor, I like to manage contacts, properties, etc. I use Gmail, Outlook, and Outlook Web Access to communicate with clients and colleagues, manage my schedule, set reminders, etc.
I use Word for letters, Excel for spreadsheets, Powerpoint for presentations. I am fairly MS Office savvy, except for, I have no idea how to use Access.
I an amateur programmer, html, css, javascript, and php savvy. I run a static html site and a Wordpress blog, and am expirementing with Joomla. Really, tech is not that essential to my job, but when used effectively it makes me more effective, and I am somewhat of a hobbyist as far as technology.
My question is, why should I enter anything into Access, when I can put my contacts straight into Outlook? What would be my benefit? I would like to learn MySQL but would knowing Access increase my ability/functionality if I learn MySQL? Or would it make more sense if I were going to learn how to code ASP? Databases are one area I've never spent any time in, would Access be beneficial for me or is it too much for my uses?
