Hello. My name is Richard Rost. I have been teaching Access in the classroom since 1994. I was contract Access database developer since the earliest versions were available.

In 2014, and again in 2015, I was awarded the honor of becoming a Microsoft MVP for Access.

You will learn practical, real-life examples taught by a professional software developer, and published author.

These are real database examples for real projects. You will build functional databases for real-world scenarios from the ground up.

In addition to my video tutorials, I have many additional resources available to assist you if you're having trouble with Access.

I have a Microsoft Access Forum where students, such as yourself, can post questions and comments and receive help from me directly, as well as my Forum Admins and other students as well.

Each lesson has an interactive student message board attached to it - so you can ask questions about specific lessons, and read comments from other students.

I also publish an "almost" daily video series called TechHelp where I answer questions sent in by students like you. Access Learning Zone is here to provide you with a complete learning solution.

If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me directly or post in the Forums, or even feel free to post a comment below at the bottom of the page.
