I'm new to Access. Where can I find
a online Tutorial to help learn to use
access?

Look in http://office.microsoft.com, click the training link in the menu on
the left hand side, and follow the links -- there are quite a number of
rather brief online training courses that you may find useful. Don't worry
if it says the course is for Access 2003 -- there aren't enough differences
to be of concern.

The FAQ site, http://www.mvps.org/access/ is a good source of information on
many specific subjects, but doesn't have "general tutorials". It does have
links to many helpful sites, as well as much good information onsite. Many
of those sites, in turn, will have links to others.

I have a Resources section at http://ntaccess.tripod.com where you'll find
links, some of which are not included in the FAQ site.
