Macros/VB

[TBird]

I have been teaching myself Access, and I feel like I'm off to a nice
start. However, I have not gotten into maros/VB yet and I know this is
really limiting me. Any suggestions on where I can get a boost in this
area?

I agree, macros are extremely limited in what they can do when compared to
VB code. Also, in my opinion, VB code is better from a maintenance
standpoint.

Start by checking out any (and all) books from your local library
system/local university. Two books I personally found extremely useful:
Visual Basic 6 from the Ground Up (for general learning)
1001 Visual Basic Programmer's Tips (for reference)

Best of luck to you .

The best book I know for learning this particular aspect of Access is
'Beginning Access <version> VBA Programming' from Wrox Press. (Where
<version> might be 97, 2000, or 2002).

I would start by reading the extensive help that comes with Access and with
Visual Basic for Applications.
The help when you load VBA gives you an excellent description of functions,
procedures, examples, etc.
