Instructional Text for Access 2010 (1 Viewer)

Hope this thread is posted in the right category....I need to get an instructional text for Access 2010....does anyone have any recommendations for this database noob?.......hummm...maybe this should have been posted under "Debates?" LOL!

Stay away from anything that says "for Dummies" unless you are merely a dabbler and do not intend to use Access professionally.

My dear wife used to teach MS Office topics for CompUSA when they still were a brick-and-mortar store. Her advice to students was to go to a book store and browse the books available on your topic. See if any of the books "connects" with you. Buy that one. If you start reading one of the books and get the overwhelming urge to toss your cookies, that book is not for you. If you get an underwhelming urge, the book isn't for you either. This all because if you are going to learn from a book, you need to learn from a book you can understand. Not because the book is the right level of technical material but because the author knows how to write a book.

Down the road, when you are less of a noob, you will almost certainly buy another book with a more technical viewpoint. But for starters, apply that old adage: "I might not know anything about art but I know what I like when I see it."

Hmm, hoping this will help...
