First - Welcome!  

Not Richard but...

You are on the right path.  Starting at the beginning and moving forward.  The Gold Membership and the Learning Connection Membership is the best path you could have chosen for Access database development.  Don't skip around follow the courses in order.

The nice thing about video learning is if you don't understand it the first time through you can watch again.
I'm sure even so that you will still have questions.  That makes this forum an invaluable resource.  There are a lot of men and women here that are more than willing to lend a hand if you get stuck.

The method that worked best for me was to watch the video all the way through.  Then watch again and follow along building the database that Richard is building.  Start and stop as you need to.  That really helps embed it in your mind.
The other thing I would say is don't try and do to much in one sitting,  sometimes you need time for it to sink into your brain.

Best of luck in you learning!

You need to know the tools and the skills, and you also need to know the industry you develop for.  To develop for a clothing retail company, you need to know about the clothing business and what's unique about it.  To develop for a school, a heath care provider, food industry, etc., you need to know about them too.  Even when you become an Access MVP, chances are you may not have deep knowledge about the other industries, which may be far removed from the tech world.  To help those people, you need to "cross the bridge."  You can't be just the "tech guy."  You at least need a baseline understanding of their work, at least know some of their lingo, etc., in order to help them.  You can't help them if you can't even at least speak the same language as they do.

Yeah, sometimes understanding the client's needs are more difficult that learning Access. I remember one of the first "real" clients I had was an insurance agent. I was in my early 20s. I knew programming and Access, but I knew absolutely nothing about the insurance business... premiums, rates, etc. So he had to take the time to teach me exactly how everything worked and was calculated. So if you're going to be an independent consultant, always take that into consideration. Learning the client's business can sometimes take longer than building their database.
