Good Day,
I am an experience programmer mostly during the COBOL to VB time frame. As the job has evolved into being more of a maintenance pgmr, due to fact that I have always ended up in a job that uses 3rd party applications, I spend most of my days now in a trouble shooting/minor mod. role. I got out of the big shop environment and work for a mom & pop operation. Only IT person on site with approx. 40 office personnel & 40 vessels(tug boats). Each vessel runs 3 machines with dedicated 3rd party apps. for each machine/responsibility. All code issues/improvements are reported back to vendor for mods. I have been tasked with doing a few internal office type apps(i.e. Purchase order, job costing). Always been a nuts and bolts type of pgmr where we do all aspects of the program control(COBOL) to rookie VB6 coding(pgmr control), thus having a IDE that does so much of the work(as long as you understand what all the control/properties do) sometimes gets confusing. So I come here to day as a newbie(kind of) in the world of Access. I have watched all the videos on youtube in the "Programming in Microsoft Access 2013". Hosted by Steve Bishop, and a DVD training series my company purchased. I have worked with power relational db product such as oracle, understand the concept of table definition/relationships, etc. Form design, report design. Just need a push now and then in how to do specific actions via controls/properties in Access. Would like to have more control over app. functions by using VBA and feel confident approaching development that way. Enough with all the blabber, hope this gives some insight to my experience and smooth sailing on the forums. Thanks.
