If you’ve ever said, “I’m just not good with computers,” Access might seem intimidating. But here’s the big SECRET: Microsoft Access was designed for PEOPLE, not tech wizards! I still remember when I started working with Access. I had ZERO computer training and it seemed pretty intimidating.
Over the years, people would ask me to do things with Access and I realized that I had no clue how to do what they wanted. BUT every time I found some setting or tool in Access and that is how I learned most of what I know about it. Access is like a giant tool set but you don’t start out having to use all the tools.
Just start with a couple tools and then let the goals you set for yourself literally pull you into the program! Focus on what you want Access to do and you will find just what you need – I’ve been doing that for more than 30 years.
If you want to see an example of what can be done, take a look at this DEMO. In the A2P Community I offer a course every month called “Dissect the Demo” that shows you how to do the things you see in the video.
The Community contains every training resource you will ever need PLUS a lively bunch of people in your same situation. You are part of a group and don’t have to struggle to learn alone!
You also don’t have to figure it all out from scratch if you don’t want to or don’t have the time. What you can do is hire me to create your first working database based on your first goal – some task that, when automated, will give you significant time back.
Then you have the advantage of having a working database – you can open it, explore it, and see how it works under the hood!
So you don’t need to be techy. You just need to get started!
