Microsoft Access uncovered - Simon Hurst tutorials

During the summer of 2005, Simon Hurst challenged AccountingWEB and IT Zone members to confront their fear of databases. After years of campaigning on the subject, the message appeared to get through. When Hurst followed through with tutorials explaining in simple terms how a database like Microsoft Access could be used in typical accounting situations, the response was very enthusiastic.

The result is a growing programme of step-by-step tutorials, most of which can be also be downloaded as fully illustrated Word documents. Add this page to your browser favourites to keep up with the Simon Hurst database tutorial collection as it grows and expands.
