I have built 2 data bases for work and have made forms. What level of lessons will teach me how to fill basic data on multiple forms to be ready to print? For example, I have quarterly reports on all my patients. I want to designate which patients need a report and then print those forms filled out with demographics. Can I skip or do I need to take these courses in order? Thank you

Hi Marcia. First, when you PRINT something you want to use REPORTS, not FORMS (specific Access terms).
If you want to select a group of records to print, you can do this with a QUERY and then use that QUERY to feed a REPORT. For example, if you want to print all customers from New York, you can make a query with a CRITERIA of State="NY". Query criteria are covered in Access Beginner Level 5.
If you want to manually select specific records to print, I recommend adding a field to your table called "ToBePrinted" or whatever you want, and then just make that your query criteria (ToBePrinted=TRUE).
Yes, you CAN skip classes, but I STRONGLY recommend you watch them in order. There may be material you don't think you need in some of them, but they're really designed to be watched in order. Each class builds on the lessons that come before it.
