Access Watch
Helen Feddema and friends turn their sights on
Microsoft Access
Do you have Access?
You probably do. Microsoft Access comes with Office Professional. Maybe you've taken a look at Access and can't figure out how you'd ever use it. Maybe you've dug deeper and decided it's too hard. That's too bad, really, because if you have any use for a database system -- membership rosters, inventories, collections, telephone books, record keeping, heaven knows what-all -- Access can handle it all. No need to be intimidated, bucko. You've paid for Access. Now it's time to put that sucker to work!
Access Watch
(inevitably called
AW
), (inevitably called AW ), is a FREE newsletter directed specifically at Access users. If you're new to Access, we'll take you by the hand and show you how to get started. (In fact, I think AW's initial issues have the best introduction to databases in general, and Access in particular, that's ever been printed.) If you're beyond the newbie stage, but need real-world advice on solving real-world problems, AW will ring your chimes. And if (heaven forbid!) you're an Access programmer, we'll keep you up-to-date on all the latest techniques, bugs, security exposures, and everything else Microsoft wouldn't dare mention in public

After the amazing success of Office Watch (OW), we aim to make AW just as appealing, just as
indispensable
for Access users around the world.

AW
relies on the OW formula: the latest up-to-the-nanosecond news, insider gossip, bug reports, level-headed virus warnings, product and book reviews, tips and tricks, and Web links, delivered
FREE
via email.
AW holds Microsoft's feet to the fire, and lets readers know about the latest patches, problems and workarounds - the good, the bad and the ugly in Access 95, 97, 2000 and beyond.
AW
is by Access consumers, for Access consumers, packed with straight talk, hold the sugar coating -- whether Microsoft likes it or not.
Peter Deegan
, AW's Editor-in-Chief, lives and works in Sydney Australia. Peter broke on the international scene in 1996 as WOW's Editor. He's written extensively for PC Computing and the ZDNet Help Channel. Our Editor and chief Access guru,
Helen Feddema, has made quite a splash with her book "DAO Object Model: The Definitive Guide" from O'Reilly. She's been wrestling with Access since the beginning of time. In Net years, anyway.
AW
is available in both fully formatted (HTML) and plain text editions.
