help with Microsoft Access 2003

[Kathleane]

I'm using the trial version of MS Access 2003 and having trouble figuring it out. I figured out Excel and Word on my own but can't seem to find any real help on the MS site or the Help files, just broad strokes, but nothing really in-depth.

Can anyone suggest a website and/or book that really goes into Access?

I'm especially looking for help setting up a database for scheduling caregivers with clients, so that when I type in a time and date that the client is requesting I can easily pull up a list of which caregivers are available.

Hello Kathleane,
here's a couple that will surely help...

Thank you for the prompt reply. Both sites are very helpful.

Can anyone recommend a book that would be in depth enough to keep me from having to take a class in Access? I'd much rather read a book than sit in a classroom.

Good luck! :D

Thank you again. I checked out both of the books you suggested and (embarrassingly) the Dummies book looks like a good option.
