I Knew Absolutely Nothing Upload Images Link

I love these courses. I knew absolutely nothing about access before I started watching these classes. Now I'm in the process of building my small company a database which will help us tremendously!! These classes are not just for computer whizes, they are for anyone. Easy to follow and understand and they build off each other.

I am a couple of lessons away from beginning the Expert classes, and I cannot thank you enough. Your knowledge is extraordinary, and your style of teaching incredible! I am so glad I didn’t build my database after watching the first few lessons. Yes, I need to get it build, but I think the delay is more than warranted based on what I am learning.

Thanks for the compliments, Mark. I constantly tell people DON'T start your main project right away! Few listen. LOL. Learn Access FIRST. Then once you're confident with your skills, and only then, begin working on your major project you have in mind. You're going to learn a lot from Beginner 1 to Beginner 9. You're going to learn even more (stuff that will completely blow your mind) between Expert 1 and Expert 3. Be patient.

Cannot Say Enough Good Things Upload Images Link

I can not say enough good things about your lessons and Seminars from Beginner 1 all the way through the Developer series. I have enjoyed the process from the very start. Definitely found that your suggestion of building the database's along with you is spot on. When you start building your own, it really helps to have done it before. Not to mention the ability to go back and review particular lessons whenever you need to.

Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate it. And yes, people don't believe me when I tell them in Beginner 1, "don't try to use this for work right away! Build my database first. Build a hobby database. Then once you've mastered the topic, apply it to your work database."

I love all of the courses. Rick is a phenomenal instructor, who teaches slowly and clearly. I love his "walk before you run" philosophy, his patient repetition, and his humor. Hard to find fault with anything from my perspective.

VERY WELL presented with concise information, and good pace, and very thorough Especially for a Beginners course. You have removed most of the intimidation of creating nice looking forms in access and answered questions that other on-line courses don't. Read More...

What did you like: Absolutely everything! By far the best instructional course I have taken including MBA, and Executive level courses. The teaching of both the how and why including the good, better, and best methods is especially beneficial and effective. Read More...

Thank you so much for your kind words, Michael. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Yes, the old Theater mode is nowhere near as good as the newer courses, like the new Access Beginner 1 and my newer Developer lessons. Problem is those old videos were recorded at that lower resolution, so even if I update the web interface with the new design, the videos are still the same small size. I'm working on re-recording them, but it's extremely time consuming. I'd rather focus on developing new lessons.

Yeah, I get what you mean about building databases FOR you. I was in that business for years. Don't want to be in it anymore. I'd rather teach. I do have the Access Developer Network where you can post your job requests though.

The customer / employee / contact / order stuff that I build in the classes isn't for everyone. I get that. However it's an example that I use for teaching the material that almost everyone can relate to. Think of it like playing with Legos. All of the pieces are the same. I just show you how to put them together one way. You can make up other combinations yourself.

It was well put together, explained and demonstrated. I like that you add little anecdotes here and there to expound on a particular issue. It is apparent that you have done this for a long time. I always look forward to getting the next lesson. As always, your videos are easy to follow and understand. An excellent source for instruction on how to use Access. Read More...

Hi Richard:

I want to say that I started learning Access on my own when i started it in 2004 and then when I came across your website accesslearningzone.com and now i'm learning a lot more with the courses and I love learning the courses I get every week. I will definitely continue to learn the courses fro the best instructor. I love Access ever since i started using it in 2004. You are amazing with teaching the courses and also with the different helptech videos. I want to thank you so very much for helping me learn from the best instructor and I will keep it up. I just I know you cover it in your developer classes. I googled how to clear combo box after searching for a record so I don't have to click in the combo box to clear it wevery time i want to search for new record. It will clear after I search for a record. Again, thank you to the best instructor.
