    Learning how to program

    I have used Access for about 7 years and built various applications for the company I work for. However, I have used VERY little programming in these. I would like to bring these to the next level, but realize without programming I am limited. Any good tutorials that you would recommend to get started programming? Any books or other publications that would be helpful? My programming will most likely be limited to Access and other Microsoft applications (Excel, Word, etc.)



    Thanks!

    There are so many out there, and what works for one person doesn't for another. Suggest you google 'vba tutorials' and see what you find. Many are free so give one a try, if it doesn't work for you, try another. Someone on this forum has been using the CEIL tutorial but doesn't appear to have got on with it particularly well.

    Itsme has put some video tutorials together - you could give those a try

    Have a look here

    There are many books with code examples. This one looks interesting: Access™ 2007 Programming by Example with VBA, XML, and ASP by Julitta Korol, Wordware Publishing, Inc. I expect there is a later edition.
