Data can be viewed one record at a time in a Form, or many records at a time in a Worksheet. The on-line tutorial that comes with Approach is excellent, especially for users new to databases. It starts by explaining concepts and terminology, and then each section describes what you're about to learn before you walk through the steps required to do the task. And it's fairly easy to make the transition from the tutorial to the real world. Sample layouts are available to use when you're first creating a database, laying out a form, designing a report, and so on.
Help is always available.
Some things aren't obvious in the tutorial, such as adding macros to forms to create simple applications. The initial view is calendar, open to today. There are tabs for your address book, a planner, to-do list, and a notepad. You can schedule and change appointments for all members of your group, with options to send notices and attachments. The system will find a time that all resources are available.
