How to write visual basic code.

[Guest]

I am REALLY new to programming and Visual Basic Code and am learning by
doing. Is there a reference or website that I can use to help "decode" the
syntax and how to implement it?

A reference that I've found very valuable is VBA Developer's Handbook by Getz
and Gilbert. Last I checked it was running about $50 but it's a great book.

Also, this newsgroup is an incredible asset. When you run into a particular
issue you can post a question here and expect a reasonably quick and helpful
response.

Here are some of the links that I keep in my Favorites folder:

The official reference is the VB Help file. Where you can
find it depends on your version of Access. In A2002, it's
in the Contents - VB Conceptual Topics section of the VB
window's Help (open the VB window via Ctrl+g from main
Access window).
