Thanks for reading this post.

I am new to MS Access and currently learning Access 2003. The best way to
learn a new subject is through practice/exercises. Can anyone recommend a
source where I could find few practice/exercise questions with answers?

Regards

jpreman,
Have you tried a Google on "Microsoft Access Courses", or "Microsoft
Access Training" Quite a few hits came up.
This hit... as an example...
http://www.ptr.co.uk/access-2003-level1-course.php
offers four levels of 2003 training, and describes the syllabus.
I can not vouch for the quality, or the efficacacy of any of the online
courses.

Also, see if you can locate a local technical school, or community
college... a beginner's course in Access would be a good start.
There may also be some commercial Access training available in your
area.

Here are some suggestions for online sources.

Jeff Conrad's resources page:

I have a Word document I call Access Links.doc, that I think you will find
quite helpful. You can download a zipped copy from here:

http://www.accessmvp.com/TWickerath/

For the present time, concentrate on just the first couple of pages. This
includes information on special characters to avoid, reserved words,
database
design, best practices (make sure that you have the latest updates), Name
Autocorrect, Relationships, along with a lot of useful links to other web
sites. Also, head on over to Access MVP Crystal's new site and download her
Access Basics tutorials:

Al Campagna,

Thanks for your response.

In fact I am looking for something of a tutorial that would give exercises
