Access 2016 Help (User manual)

Hope this Helps.  If you sign on to U TUBE and search for ACCESS 2016 you will find a complete set of show and tell videos showing you how to build an ACCESS 2016 database,, How to fill in a Table Completely. (this takes two videos ) how to build a form, etc. etc.

I am an Old gentlemen (not kidding about the old part) who used to know Access Cold.  Now that Microsoft has realized what a moneymaker they have and how they can compete with the other commercial databases on the market they have make this product a very hearty and beefed up product. The products ability to pick up imbed databases inside other databases during the design phase makes it very friendly to use.  I haven't gotten to the analysis phase yet but I suspect after a few WEEKS of suffering through learning programing again, It will be=become at least as clear as mud.  At my age, that is all I can discuss.

Good Luck All.

Guys, this post is from 2015, I think it safe to assume the issue was resolved by now otherwise they would have posted back by now!

I have not yet installed 2016, waiting for them to work out the bugs, but I am glad to know Help may be back!  Thanks for the info!

I have at last got my head sorted around the problems I imagined I had.

 I had looked at my Office 365 'Account' page which confirmed that I had all the latest updates and that I had the 2013 versions of Office components, e.g.

Note the 'automatic updates' bit, which clearly hadn't happened and had not been disabled by me.  This page also claimed that my files were up to date, which was not true. 

Today I decided to go for re-installing Office anyway, from the 'My Account' page:

It worked, and I now have all the 2016 components, including Access 2016 (for Windows), and the Help libraries that go with them and which are the ones I wanted, whereas the 2013 components did not have any help attached.

So it seems to me that the subscription Office 365 does not provide automatic updates.  You have to know that they are available, then reinstall.  Maybe, to be fair,  I have missed something somewhere;  I'm becoming quite an expert in how to be confused...........

This may, or may not, help Gina, who had replied to my original post with:

"I wish I could say yes but alas no, you will need to wait for your Amazon order.    If I am wrong I hope someone corrects me!"

Thank you all for your comments.  I kicked myself for not noting the location of that help system that I found just by chance.  It seemed to be a complete manual on creating relational database systems, but a day later I couldn't find it.  Office 365 (Home version) doesn't (yet?) have a help system via F1.  I haven't done any work on databases, including Access, since I retired thirteen years ago, so I need a reference that covers the lot.

I am aware that the earlier versions are virtually the same, but I don't have anything except Office 365, so I can't refer back.  I did spend an hour today searching the web, but what I found was either very basic or inconveniently fragmented.  I agree there is lots around, but it also takes a lot of time examining those sites!

Thanks again.

PS.  I said I've got 2016:  not so.  I have, as I also said, Office 365 which has the 2013 components on Windows (Access 2016 is on the Mac I think, but I don't use that machine much).
