Access 2003 and VB

[Rick]

I am an Access 2003 user and would like to learn how to expand its
functionality using Visual Basic. I am not clear what would be the best way
to proceed: VBA, VB, VB.NET, etc. I would appreciate any input you can
provide to distinguish between the various VB alternatives and if one would
be more suitable than another as applied to Access 2003. If you could
recommend a book to start with from amongst the innumeralbe books available,
it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your assistance.

Are you planning to work from inside or outside? If the former then use VBA
built-in to Access. If the later then you can use VB or VB.Net but the
learning curve is going to be slower.

This link may get you started in the case of VBA.
