Why are Junction Tables necessary?
I have been reading about databases for just a few hours, so think of me as a complete muppet for the purpose of explanation...

New forms can be created in design mode where the fields are availble, but as I say, my colleague is a novice and prefers to use the wizards. SP2 has not solved the problem. Any sugesstions?

Rec a good getting started book for 2000 ?
Hi all :) Can anyone recommend a good 'Getting Started' guide for beginners to Access 2000? It needs to explain the basics, starting at why you'd want to use Access in the first place.

Can I set my db link to be a read-only so that my co-worker will always have full access to his db even if I'm currently linking it? Thx, Dj...
