Access Programming with VBA (ACC_VBA)

In this introductory Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) training course, you will learn how to manipulate objects in Access with VBA. Specifically, you will learn how to use the Visual Basic editor, work with the object model, create and use variables, and use the selection structure. You will learn to use flow control, create custom dialogs, automate processes, and handle errors.

Each lesson of the class begins with a general overview of a feature and then shows how that feature works in Access.

Our public classes use the most current version of the software, but if you’re on an earlier version, our instructor will point out any differences. For private classes, we will use the version of the software you use in your office.
