The big day is Monday -- the day you get to show off what you know about Access 2000 programming. The problem is, you're not really up to speed, which is why we created this Weekend Crash Course(r). Open the book Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon, after completing 30 fast, focused lessons, you'll be able to jump right in and start programming.
