I have to say that this forum has been
the only place I can find help, usually
sharp and to the point. As I would expect.
At the free news server news.microsoft.com, you'll find several
Microsoft-sponsored newsgroups with very good content -- much of which is
from people who also participate here. Those newsgroups are also accessible
from the links you'll find at
http://office.microsoft.com.
The Access web ring just seems full of,
well, advertising.
I gave up on the webring years ago when a couple of sites figured how to
prevent you from leaving once you reached their site... there used to be
some good help and examples, but it was always a matter of "scrolling"
through sites until you found something of interest and that might take a
long, long time.
The Microsoft Access . . . pages are just hard
work to get what one wants. So where is the
definitive reference?
At Microsoft, I find good information at the "Office Online" site,
http://office.microsoft.com, including good beginner-to-intermediate online
training courses, and "templates." If you can guess the right search words,
the Knowledge Base at
http://support.microsoft.com is useful, but some
prefer using Google to search over the Knowledge Base search.
A good starting point for Access information and links is the FAQ for this
newsgroup at

http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal, and many other sites by
participants here are full of good, useful information (and I've left out
many that I use frequently... no slight intended).
You guys here offering advice and help deserve a medal.
Mind it takes effort to get at how to do something!
EG, how do you view debug print? Ya ya I know now.
I'm glad you find this newsgroup useful, and hope my suggestions lead you to
other good information.
