Re: Filemaker and Access



I use Access 97 here at work, and like it a lot more than
Filemaker Pro.  I pretty much taught myself to use it, with
a little help from the "Dummies" book and a lot of help from
the many charts in a very large book, "Special Edition Using
Access 97", by Roger Jennings.  It is 1,275 pages long.  It was
a  BIG help to me!  It should be available in your local library.
Amazon.com also has it.

One resource I love to use is a web site that offers FREE
help "24/7" (!!) for any problems a person might have with a computer -
software of all kinds and hardware.  It is called "Experts Exchange".

http://www.experts-exchange.com

It works by a point system: when you register, you get 200 points,
and every time you ask a question, points are deducted, more
points for harder questions, fewer points for easier questions.
You also get 200 points a month for merely staying registered.
Experts earn points for answering questions.  And their experts
are REAL experts.  Give it a try, and tell the list what you think!
Oh - please do not forget to be quite specific about what kind
of computer you have, and what software you have.  "EE" has been
a GREAT help to me, and their experts have been UNfailingly
patient with my relatively small store of knowledge (small compared
to a REAL expert!) and kind to me - they NEVER have criticized ANY
question I have asked.  Oh - and I have NEVER been spammed
on account of using "EE".

Please give "EE a try, folks, and please post what you think of
"EE" to the entire list.
