Great Book!

I took program courses years ago in college and was a very good programmer. However I never ventured into visual language because I found them confusing. This book will get you started. It gives you all the basics. If you have done old basic you need to get past the terminology but the example explain themselves. It give you skill but like any art you need to put it on the canvas. Great book!

Excellent book!

I've never coded in VBA. I've always relied on the macros in MS Access to do everything I needed to do. However, I picked this book up to try and learn a few new things.

This book gives you great examples and...

Shows you examples of what to place in modules to...

A Good Starting Point for Access VBA

I spent some time looking at various titles that covered VBA for Access. Ms.Gosnell's offering Access 2003 VBA was not the first book I purchased on the subject, but was the one that I have worked through and found to be very useful. (I took the other one back) It is arranged in a logical way and doesn't dwell on database theory and planning, although it offers some useful tools to aid in that process. It gets down to the...
