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

From the courses I've seen - which I will admit are a VERY small and perhaps
nonrepresentative set - you could probably get a job teaching the course, and
with your experience might do better than the current faculty. You might run
into a better course, perhaps one focusing on VBA coding, but I suspect you'll
do better to get some good books and design your own course. Check out the

Thanks for for the advise, since it is only 9 hours over 3 days I taught it
would not be that complicated and I had some reservation.
I will follow your suggestions.
