Well then I guess we'll just have to give you a homework assignment to force you to get in the swing of things!!

Since this is Views 101A, the first assignment will be something simple.

1) Create a form displaying customer data with a grid whose record source is a view displaying orders belonging to that customer. (Hint: use a parameterized view)
2) This one is for extra credit. Have the view access the products file to get the description for the item code in the orders file.

There, that should get you started.

Good Luck,
