Well, after being out of town, and then being sick for a few weeks, September has pretty much just flown by. Needless to say, I'm WAY behind on my production schedule. The good news is that Access Expert 25 is finished and recorded. I just need to get the videos uploaded to the server and set it all up, which I will do tomorrow morning.
Expert 25 is Part 1 of my comprehensive Access Function Guide. There are a ton of functions in Access that I haven't covered yet, and I figured now is probably the best time to do so. There were even some functions in there that were added in Access 2007, 2010, and 2013 that I didn't even know existed, like the Switch function (thanks to David S. for bringing that one to my attention).
Anyhow, here's a sneak peek at what this course covers. It should be online (with a full outline) tomorrow:
