I'm ready to start learning access as well... here are some thought for 
u...
Ever worked with a database...??? If not, you should first get used to the 
appropriate language of databases, and get used to work with them (try a 
simple one)
Ever worked with a DBMS...???  Comment analog to the above...
Ever worked with macro's...???  In some Microsoft environments...???  Try to 
get used to them a bit...
Ever programmed some stuff...???  Get a good copy of some basic pragrammers 
stuff out of your local bib, and make some off the excercises...
Ever had a book or experience with some visual programming tools...  ????  I 
recently loaned a book in the bib about VBA (visual basic for 
applications)....
All the above may seem very kindish, I can however assure you that in 
combination with the messages posted here, and some analysing off the sample 
database accompagnying the MS Access, you get quite a good view and feeling 
of how to start with the implementation of what you had in mind ....
At least, that's how I did it, without having some courses or private 
teachers.
