Hello. My name is Richard Rost and I'm the president of Computer Learning Zone. Do you have a technical problem you need help with?

Of course, my specific area of expertise is Microsoft Access, however I am also an expert in Excel (you could say I wrote the book on it), Word, and all the other Microsoft Office products, as well as Windows, Visual Basic, Web Design, and computer technology in general.
 

Post in the Forums

If you're currently a student (customer) then you can post your question to the Message Forums on the web site. I try to answer as many questions as I can. I'll be taking ones that I really like and turning them into TechHelp videos if I think they're a good match! You can even post your question in the comment section below (on this page). I may move it to the Forum later once I answer it.
 

TechHelp Support

If you have a problem you need help with or a question you'd like to ask, and you aren't comfortable posting it in the Forums (or you need to include attachments or screen shots) then you can submit it to me directly. The best way to do that is to email me. Be sure to include:

• What application and version are you using?
• What exactly is the problem?
• What have you tried to fix it?
• What is your level of expertise (beginner, expert?)

If I can answer your question with a brief email, there's no charge. If it's something I've already covered in one of my previous classes, I'll point you in the right direction. I may even select your question to be featured on my YouTube channel as one of my TechHelp Q&A Tips. I try to make a few new videos like this every week to answer questions.
 

Paid Support Options

I do my best to try to help as many people as I can free of charge. However, there are only so many hours in the day. I can't help everyone. However, I do have some PAID options available. First, I give priority support to my Insider Circle Members. If you think you're going to need help on a regular basis, consider joining.

If you don't think you'll be needing help on a regular basis, but you want faster help now with a short question, you can make a $20 payment to move your question to the top of the list. Please note that I cannot guarantee a response time, but if I can't get to your question within a day or two, I'll refund the payment as a credit to your store account which you can use for future lessons. After you submit your question using the link above, CLICK HERE to submit your payment.
 

Consulting

TechHelp only covers short questions, meaning something I can read and respond to in a few minutes. If you have complex issues that can't be answered with a short email, or is too specific for me to make a TechHelp video about, then you need custom one-on-one consulting help. If you want me to download and look at your database and try to fix it, then this is definitely the option you'll need. Click here for my consulting rates.
