As a new user to Access, I have spent days learning how it all works. One of
the things that I have not been able to find is a source that defines and
explains what different controls do, etc. Everything I have read shows you
how to do something, but I can't find anything that tells helps to explain
why you would want to do "whatever". I feel that it would be really
beneficial, if I could understand the definitions of the various controls etc
with examples...... Does anyone know of such an "idiot's" guide....???
