    Most common objects, methods and properties in Access

    1. What are the top 5 most commonly used objects in Access?
    2. Of each of those objects, what are the most common methods?
    3. Of each of those objects, what are the most common properties?




    Since I am new to Access, I want to make sure I get the most bang for the buck when studying objects, methods and properties, so I would like to begin with the ones that I would use most frequently.

    The answers depend on your definitions.

    Objects are commonly considered to be tables, queries, forms, reports. Recordsets are virtual objects opened within VBA code. There's 5 for you.

    Most common methods would probably be those that open, close, print objects and filter, sort, navigate records.

    Properties are far too numerous to pick 'most common' but among the most critical to understand may be RecordSource and ControlSource.
