2.3. Summary

This chapter covered the basics of VBA within Access, creating some basic macros within Access, and finally, why you might want to use VBA instead of a macro within Access. If you're going to use VBA however, you'll need to understand the various components of VBA programming. Chapter 3 covers what's new in Access 2003. Chapter 4 covers properties, methods, and events as well as goes into detail about the interactions between the three. If you're an experienced VBA programmer, you can skip the next chapter. However, if you're a self-taught programmer (and there are many out there) or just want a refresher course on the basics, take a look at Chapter 4, "VBA Basics."
