I'm having a hard time learning CR on my own and have been unable to find affordable training solutions to help me.  I have learned our local tech college offers Access for beginners.  Does anyone know about Access and will it help me with learning the basics for CR?  I get the whole formating thing in CR I am just having a hard getting at the information (queries) and arranging it in CR to make any kind of sense.  I tend to get lost in the language when using the help because I don't really understand it.  

Using Excel and pivot tables does just about everything we need for data analysis. For the average user I have created numerous browser based reports and searches. Nothing easier to teach the unwashed masses than just clicking around in IE.
