MS Access Websites

Below is a brief listing of some of the useful websites that I have found navigating the web in search of answer to my own Access questions/problems. Most of these site are full of free information, tutorials, tips and tricks, samples, … . All you need is some time to go looking.

The MVPS website Microsoft Most Valuable Professional’s website (Explanation, Code, etc.. – great resource)
Google Groups Here you can search through postings previously made… you probably aren’t the first person to ask the question so chances are that if you look it up you’ll find an answer waiting for you.
Microsoft Templates Microsoft has provided some templates. These are great starting points to which you can make customizations. These sample databases are also great learning tools to introduce beginners to various database concepts by learning by example.
