Introduction to Data Types?

Does anyone know of a good place to get an introduction to the Data Types in SQL Server? I come from and Access background, so I'm used to auto-number, text, etc. I just need to figure out which types I need to be using for my data....
Any help is appreciated.

The best thing to start from is BOL.

Look at ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/tsqlref9/html/a54f7373-b247-4d61-8fb8-7f2ec7a8d0a4.htm

Do you already have the Documentation and Samples for SQL 2005 Express installed? If not, try downloading from here:

If you're looking for Books On Line itself, it can be downloaded from here:
