Terrible and not for anyone, especially "dummies"

I am 75 years of age and semi-retired, so most of my use of the program is limited to keeping my personal, family and financial records, logging activities, generating forecasts, travel, sports data, etc. Knowing more about how Access works has enabled me to also reduce the... read more

May be a lot to absorb if you have no previous experience with Access. If you do, this will work
