The advice needed is: How the heck do you get started? I have created several tables that are being used by people in various parts of the world and are available for free download from my church's website. These were simply data tables, though, that make use of Access' sorting and filtering capabilities. IOW, no calculations are necessary. I am now trying to develop a full-blown application for my employer's very small real estate rental business and am quickly learning that I need to learn a lot. :-) It would appear that hard coding in VBA is the way to arrive at some math results that are not really all that difficult from a math standpoint. I have Excel spreadsheets that do all of it that we've been using for the three years I've been there, but I haven't figured out how to make Access perform the same calculations. I'm just [really] wanting to get away from Excel and be able to look at and edit a single record. I'd really like to find a free online tutorial to help me at least get started, but haven't located the URL for it.
BTW, I'm using Office Pro 2003 and have bought a Dummies book on Access 2003. It's helped me learn to use some Access features I had never known, but not when it comes to arriving at totals, averages, etc. Hope this is not too long-winded a query. Many TIA! -- <>< Earl --
