Self study is probably by far your best bet. We have seen over and over here
posters who said they completed one or more courses and were disapointed
with what they had learned. There are some excellent self study books out
there. Spend time creating an outline of whtat you think you need to know
then post your outline here for comments. Once you have a solid outline,
then come back again for recommendatios on books that will meet your goals.

That's a big project, Amin, and I wish you luck.

Here are some resources I've found valuable:

Jeff Conrad's resources page:
http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/acc...resources.html

The Access Web resources page:
http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/index.html

Roger Carlson's tutorials, samples and tips:
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/

A free tutorial written by Crystal:
http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html

A video how-to series by Crystal:
http://www.YouTube.com/user/LearnAccessByCrystal

MVP Allen Browne's tutorials:
http://allenbrowne.com/links.html#Tutorials

And then there's... practice, practice, practice. Work with some tolerant,
helpful, openminded clients (for a very low fee, explaining ahead of time that
you're still learning) to get experience with real problems, real users, and
real data. Get some of the books (if you can find a copy of Rebecca Riordan's
_Designing Relational Database Systems_ grab it; and look *hard* for it, it's
out of print). Getz, Litwin and Gilbert's _Access 2002 Developer's Handbook_
published by Sybex is huge, expensive, and worth ten times its price. Anything
by John Viescas is a goldmine as well.

Personally, I would start with 1. #2 is for ADP's (backend is SQL Server),
and if you've never used SQL Server, it's more stuff you likely won't
understand. And there's enough in #1 to keep you learning for a LONG time.
