Resources for Learning MS Access 3

[pryest]

Hi,
I am fairly new to using Access. I am able to build simple databases. I want to learn more about Access and how to use it. I don't have any formal training so I am kind of looking for the straight English explanations on how to do things. Everything I know about it I taught myself just by messing around with it. Does anyone have any resources that I should check out? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer!

Pryest,

In terms of books by *far* the best I have found is the MS Access Developer's Handbook (two volumes) from Sybex. Really can't recommend this enough.

Ed Metcalfe.

Please do not feed the trolls.....

I also use Sams "Mastering Microsoft Access 2000 Development" a lot. It covers just about everything you want to do in Access.
