Dian,
You know, using Access as a backend for other applications and attaching
through ADO, you still have to know the Object Model to use it effectively.
You probably could do more in Access than you think.

It just depends on what you do. I use Access a lot. But not as most folks
do...I use it as a backend to custom Word apps...just as a data store to
capture through code. I only occasionally use it as a front end DB. I'm a
wordsmith, so I use Word all the time. I used to use PPT, but haven't had to
create presentations in a long time...however, now that I'll be doing more
training...I may have use for it. But...being in the financial industry for
so long before...Excel was what EVERYONE used. So I rarely needed to use it
myself. I've just rarely been in a position where I needed Excel...or any
capabilities that used Excel. If I needed a graph/chart...I'd use PPT. If I
needed tables, calculations...I'd use Word. And if I needed data, I'd use
Access. And I can make each of those do whatever I needed.<shrug>

Dian,
Welcome to our world! You might want to bookmark this page, which has helped
me a thousand times or more.
http://www.mrexcel.com/articles.shtml
It's a portal to articles on several sites, some just a few lines, some a
few pages, but all of them straight to the point.
I'm building an Access application at the moment at the same time as an
Excel application. Around once a week, I think, "I wish Excel could do
[whatever] like Access does." I have the same thought the other way round
about 10 times every HOUR!
I know you're going to love Excel. It can do anything.
Ray
