    New to Access


    Hi, I'm pretty new to getting into the programming of access. I've been using the program for a few years, but don't know how to write any detailed codes. My first question is: what language does access use, is it VB? If so, what's the latest version of VB? I'd like to try and find some tutorials on getting started. Thanks

    all dbs use sql - Access provides a design view grid to make queries which is an excellent entry into sql

    Access is customized with VB; the intent of Access is that one can make some basic databases without any programming. But to take it to the next level one uses VB. All the Office suite applications use a variation of VB called VBA - - which has specific addition functions & methods that are very helpful. Any generic class in VB will be very helpful - - and then you can learn the particulars of VBA as you go.
