CRUD application and VBA skills

[adeling]

Hello,

I think of getting involved into access (being an obsessive excel user) and I would like to build a standard CRUD application and it makes me wonder
are there in access any predefined methods of coping with CRUD functionalities or I need to programm it. Thats an important issue to me because I dont have any
advanced Vba skils. thank you in advance.

What is CRUD?

[ssanfu]

Create or add new entries
Read, retrieve, search, or view existing entries
Update or edit existing entries
Delete/deactivate existing entries


Access is not Excel - obviously. Moving from Excel to Access requires a different way of thinking.

Access has the functionality - very basic using wizards - more advanced functionality requires (at least some) VBA coding.

Just what I need, a new acronym!

As Steve said, Access has built-in tools for all these features. A db can be built with absolutely zero code. So for a user to perform the actions you describe, requires getting familiar with the intrinsic tools on the ribbon and forms and right click shortcut menus. Some are comfortable with that, some need more customized framework, like big buttons on form clearly identified for a specific procedure. The more 'user friendly' the more code.

Thats great !! At first it will be good for me to build an app using standard built-in methods, then I try something more advanced. thanks for your replies.
