Newbie Question:

[artdept]

Hey. I work for a small screen printing company that until now kept their client info and record keeping files in the form of a rolodex and filing cabinet. I was sort of surprised being our client list included such companies as Bell Atlantic, DuPont and Knights of Columbus to name a few. Anyhow, I knew that there was a better way to keep records and had only heard of Access. Now that I've purchased it, can any one reccomend specific reference that may be helpful in learning this program (in addition to this list, of course).
Thanks.

You should also look at the sample database included with Access (Northwinds).

Access also has a Wizard which will create a complete (?)database solution for you.

From the start up screen, select the Database Wizard and from the next screen select the Database tab. There are several there which may meet your needs without a great deal of development work. If nothing else, playing with these will give you an understanding of how Access works.

Good luck.
