I can't be of much help, but I'll give you what I've got. I am just learning
Access, and haven't worked with any other database (except a little data entry with dBaseIII back in the '80's). But a tech who worked on my computer told me he had been certified on Access Level IV (no, I don't know what that means), but gave it up. He got tired of all the changes. He told me there are simpler database programs out there (no, I don't know what they are), if all I wanted to do is names and addresses. But I've never done anything the easy way, so why start now? And my needs are--shall we say--a bit unconventional. All I know is that the learning curve for Access is far steeper than anything else I've ever tackled. And when I found myself trying to learn Access 2003 with an Idiot's Guide to Access 2000 (long story), I saw what he meant about changes from one version to the next. Good luck with your term paper. Maybe "New Users" isn't the best discussion group for this post? How about Access General Questions? Let the experienced users weigh in--although you'll probably get more pros than cons. That's why I replied--balance. "Kim" wrote: Hi, I'm a college student doing a term paper and I need you help Ineed some pro and cons about using access compared to other data base progrems.
