Fast Track to becoming a full fledged developer

Definitely the wrong approach. You have to be honest. If you are caught on
one lie, anything else you say will be taken with scepticism even if you are
150% correct.

You will find that most of the experts here will credit the
newsgroups/forums as partially being responsible for their skill level.

Absolutely. I've learned more in these groups than in all books and classes
combined - and even more than from actually developing apps.

I agree. In addition to the extraordinary things you learn in
newsgroups, people who answer questions become better at recognizing and
solving problems along with gaining a mysterious ability to solve some
problems in spite of being given incomplete information. Sometimes my
customers are completely mystified at how I can sometimes pull solutions
out of my er.. brain. For example, the fact that I knew about the
cobbled Excel functionality due to a court case was simply jaw-dropping
to them. Of course, solutions are even more impressive when you don't
explain how you arrived at them, but I try to avoid that temptation.
With a few rare exceptions, Access books are of almost no help to me.
Lots of people doing different things in Access for over 10 years
synergize in newsgroups to give the equivalent of literally hundreds of
years of experience without having to live that long :).

Si vous avez réparti des données dans plusieurs tables (par exemple d'un
côté les factures et de l'autre les lignes de ces factures), vous devez
mettre en relation ces tables afin de saisir leurs enregistrements en
même temps. Alors, n'hésitez pas à imprimer la fenêtre des relations
car elle permet d'apprécier d'un seul coup d'œil l'intégralité de la
structure de la base de données. -- Chapitre 5, Access 2002,

My Google Translate aided paraphrase:

If you lay out the data in multiple tables (for example, in a query with
invoice details and other lines to your invoices table), you must
simultaneously connect these fields in the relationships window in order
to enforce those relationships. Then, do not hesitate to print out the
contents of the relationships window because it makes it possible to see
in a single glance the entire structure of the database.
