Anyone here use it? i mean for work?

I just applied on a opening that ask me to be proficient in Access (intermediate knowledge of it). I said i was but I'm more of a noob at it. I'll try to take a course in it if ever i get to the interview stage of the job.

But just how complicated is this software? I'm a very fast learner... I don't think I'll have any problems to at least look like i have the necessary skills. But you think a couple of weeks of work would be enough to actually use Access at a intermediate level?

 

Access is very complex

 

Its not real difficult to get to a midlevel user knowledge but that's about where the learning curve gets steep depending on how you learn. I thought Access was pretty simple until I got to the back end commands :chuckles:

 

I built a supply database using Access. It took quite some time to figure out how to tie the tables, queries, reports, and user interface forms all together. Quite the learning experience.

 

I once used it to keep track of my dvds. it can be simple to set up simple tables and stuff, but it can get complicated real quick.

 

i took a whole college course on it. it was the best course i took.

i had no idea how complex it was.

 

I took it as part of an MS certification class. Maybe you can take a class on it at your local community college?

 

This. The first like 5 weeks I ripped through, and then all of the sudden it was like...whoa...holy shit...what the fuck...ohhhhh...sweeeet.

 

it was so much fun. i don't remember any of it now, haven't had to use it except for that class.

 

I had a lot of fun with it and even built a pretty complex dbase for a couple grand cash...doubt I could do it now since its been a while but it was a lot of fun at the time.
