Jason, I just finished up the Word class and I'm about halfway through
the Excel class offered through Iowa and the tutorials you are referring
to.  I think the tutorials are excellent and my preferred format is
Braille or disk; although I most often use the online tutorials which we
have access to while enrolled in the classes.

To give you a more accurate idea of what's covered in the Access 2002
Tutorial, I've copied the table of contents off the website and pasted
it below.  There's a good deal more information about both the tutorials
and classes at www.blind.state.ia.us/assist.

Hope this helps!
