Onward to VB?

[David]

Hello

I am fairly new to VBA programming.
I have self-taught (with considerable help from this forum) all of the
things that I know about VBA.

I have just built and compiled a fully functional flight check-in program
which is being used at an airport at which I work. I put the app together
because the software company that we were dealing with was building something
mostly unusable due to our unique operational situation.

The app uses Access and Excel(through automation) to do what it needs to do.

I don't know how much of the process relys on the Access interface to
accomplish tasks.
How much of a step is it to move from what I am able to do just VB?
Would I need to learn how to use another databasing application?

I am just always trying to learn more and I feel I am limited because I
don't know exactly how Access programming fits in to the grand scheme.

VB is good but it doesn't do databases anywhere near as well as
Access. Excellent for utilities such as my Auto FE Updater. Much of
your VBA knowledge will work as is in VB with some minor changes to
syntax which is specific to VB. Such as working with forms and
controls.

And you can build some very complex apps in Access.
