[simon4amiee]

I am new to this site in the hope I can progress further. I am currently doing a course - MCDBA (Microsoft Certified Database Administrator), and having swiftly passed through the Step by Step Access book, I find myself unable to get to grips with 'Access 2000 VBA', I just don't get it, and don't get me wrong I have read through the first few chapters with no problem, then I hit the code, I just do not get it, and cannot therefore do the solution at the end, and for some reason I can see the solutions on my CD it just freezes, is there anywhere that has the solutions. Or is there an easier way to learn. I may as well be learning Japanese it seem that difficult, but I so want to learn this, as I can only develop my databases so far without VBA for access. PLease someone HELP!!!

Hi,

I too do not know how to use VBA, there is however a Microsoft Press book called Access 2000 VBA that can be obtained from the microsoft webiste.

Unfortunately i have not yet found the same for Access 2003.

Hope this helps
Bev

probably best to post questions about specific bits you are not getting so that someone can try to explain them to you.

thanks, I will try to be a little more specific in future, and to also reply to the above, thats the book I have and am stuck on. Even though I have the solution to Chapter 4 (POWER), I just don't get it. I don't have access to an internet at home, which is where I do the course from, so I will have to post another day with specifics. But its the code in general, as a first time to code, Ifind in difficult to understand!

Actually... I liked Access VBA for Dummies

Simple, easy to follow for starters. Limited detail though, which I found is a good place to start.

You can always get the bigger more indepth books once you have the concepts down.
