My wife and I are both experienced programmers, with RDBMS experience, but neither of us have used Access. My wife is a stay-at-home mom now, and would like to pursue some freelance consulting, and I would like to be involved as well, to back her up and perhaps make even more money on the side.
We noticed Access being used in the freelance world. It led to a couple questions:
* Is there a book a resource to recommend for newbies to access, but experienced in RDBMS? I'd hate to pay for a book that spends a lot of time explaining what a table is, or what a JOIN is, etc... Perhaps there's no avoiding the introductory material like that and we'll just have to skim through those parts of a book (Like Access Inside/Out).
* Do you agree with our initial assessment that Access is a great skill to leverage in the freelance world? I'm also a fairly advanced Excel user as well, and was hoping to leverage both tools for freelance world.
Hopefully this isn't too annoying newbie question. My initial search of the forum didn't find a similiar thread.
