Access videio tutorial

[sam]

Hi can someone please help me with a problem in access 2007.
I am using a database from Microsoft from Microsoft web site for Book’s.
On the form i input the data there i a box called topics and when i move to
this box all i have to do is put in the first letter of a book topic and
access get the relevant data from another table and completes the rest.

What i am trying to do is make another one of these items so i can quickly
input the publishes details just like the topic details.
I believe it’s called a lookup table or a combo box.

I have seen these items in a music collection for the artist’s names and in
that there was two of theses boxes.

So how do i make this happen or can someone recommend a good video tutorial
to help me please.
Regards

Hi Sam ... check these references out.

Crystal Long has video tutorials on her website.

(Thanks to John W. Vinson [MVP] for this info
"Access has a steeper learning curve than (say) Word or Excel; not
least, in order to make productive use of the program you have to
understand the theoretical basis of database design - a concept called
'Normalization'. It is very logical and not at all difficult once you
get the concepts down."

From Access MVP Tom Wickerath:
May I recommend that you help jumpstart your Access-related knowledge by
downloading a copy of a Word document that I have available in zipped
form? I
call it "Access Links". The first four pages include important
information
that anyone working with Access should be aware of. This includes
reserved
words and special characters, naming conventions, database design, etc.
My
advice is to avoid using any reserved words (Name, Date & Description
are
three prime examples) or special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.) in
anything
that you assign a name to within Access.
