F/S: Soap on a rope. Fresh spring sent. $5/ea or $50 for the entire case of twelve. Have four cases. Will consider trades for backpack leafblower, Nintendo Wii or drivetrain parts for a '77 Jeep CJ5.

Oh, wait, this isn't craigslist? ****.

I’ll respond.....the jokers we have on the boards. I especially like the Hobbies/Likes/Dislikes....very funny.

Bear, what are you looking to do? I don’t do access anymore, but I do know some folks that might.

Can you detail the job? How big, what’s involved, etc?

Then, what are you looking to compensate? If it’s a small gig, I may know someone who would do it for free. If it’s big (then maybe Access isn’t the right tool for the job) then it might cost you a little dough.

I think I might have an Access tutorial program somewhere if you want to learn to do it yourself.

^I can't remember who made the one I had........it was kind of expensive (around $100 I think).

Cool that MS is offering training.

MS has had self-paced "teach yourself classes" for ages up on their site. As with anything, some are better than others and sometimes the outside company/paid teaching programs are better, sometimes they aren't. Occasionally Microsoft will even run free webinars where they will have a person actually teaching live and answering questions.

Yep, the help for most of their products is very good, and is rarely taken advantage of, IMHO. Score one for the big, bad, corporate Microsoft

However, if he needs a relational database, with some specialized queries, it'd be better if someone else with a bit of experience tackled it, also IMHO.

I used to be pretty good at Access. Wrote a very robust travel wholesale app for a customer. Much has changed since then, and frankly, I find myself needing to outsource more.

Microsoft Accident?

It's a toy. Upgrade to .NET and SQL Server (or SQL Server CE for single-user apps).
