I have been using Access since 1994. I became a member of this site 2 years ago. I knew how to setup tables, build relationships, form design, queries, macros, and some vba. Topics I thought were over my head (SQL, recordsets, etc) have become clear now. If you take his courses in order, your knowledge builds in a logical way. You become comfortable and confident over time. What you learn on this site will absolutely be valuable to you. I am starting to feel like I pay Richard and the moderators too many compliments, but the fact is, they deserve it. Do yourself a favor and don't wait as long as I did to join this site.
