Default Acces Training

Over the last 2 years I developed a data base used in transportation. I have
developed a few different versiosn to accomodate diferent locations. In it
has over oer 200 queries probably about 100 tables, a lot of them used for
combo boxes. it has about 150 diffeent reports and about 75 forms, a lot of
them only used by one location but I did not removed the rest.
This datbase was developed buy using a lot macros and wizards no script.
I wonder if I would benefit from participating in a training course offered
by the community college in my area or if the training will be too basic. The
prerequisit are to have knowledge of tables, queries and forms. Does anyone
have any experience with these type of training courses?

Thanks

Charles

In my experience, it would be for the most part a waste of your time. Sadly,
even at university, the subject matter was only covered in a very summary
manner. That said, you would most probably learn a few things that you are
not aware of now, but for the most part you would find it redundant.

However, if your college offers different level for the course then you
could read the descriptions and pick an appropriate one but, if it is a
single all inclusive course you'd be turning your thumbs.
