juldeaI feel like a failure. :P
On random inspiration this morning, I opened up Microsoft Access for the first time and began futzing around with it. Two hours and lots of experimentation later, I don't feel that I at all have a grasp on what it does or how to make it work like I want it. :(
This is unprecidented. Excel is my bitch, you see. I regularly decide I want to do something with Excel that I don't even know is possible, and with a short period of reading and testing, it bends to my will.
From what I know of Access, it'd be a much better tool for the invoice tracking/queries/etc I want to be able to do. I just... can't seem to find an intuitive starting place. :P
Heaven forbid I have to buy a manual!
