For AccessXP or earlier, open the Visual Basic Editor (Alt-F11) then hit F1
to bring up help. Under the Contents tab look for "Visual Basic Language
Reference", Expand this section and you will find a section on Functions.
For Access 2003, I'm not sure - I don't have it installed on my work PC but
will be happy to check for you later.

There are actually only a small number of Access functions. The majority of
the functions we use when programming Access are not Access functions at
all. They are VBA functions, or DAO functions, or ADO functions, or
functions in one of the countless other object libraries that are available.
This is why it is not a simple matter to 'list Access functions'. A good
place to start exploring, though, is the Object Browser. In the VBA IDE,
choose 'Object Browser' from the View menu or use the shortcut key F2. You
won't learn everything you want to know about an object or method here, but
when you discover an object or method that looks interesting you can make a
note of its name and look for further information in the help files, in
books, at http://msdn.microsoft.com, in the newsgroup archives at
www.google.com/groups, or using your favourite search engine.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

At present www.google.com/groups is not very useful. They are
trialling a new interface which makes searching fairly painful.

Hi David
sorry for taking so long to get back to you - i had a holiday
when you do a search and go into an answer - up the top of the page is the
option for "view tree" ...
as for finding out all the groups under another group i've got no idea, but
i'm posting the question in their feedback section so maybe we'll find out.
Cheers
