new to access... where to start?

[d0wnt0wn]

Hi all I have been using excel for quite a while now and I have been told that the best way to make a database for my excel workbook would be in Access. I have never used Access and when I open it I have no clue what to do ... any suggestions on a good tutorial to get me started???
