Hi people,

I picked up a book called ‘Database Design for Mere Mortals’ because it sounded cool, then started playing around with Microsoft Access. I gave myself a couple of projects, the first being a BMI calculator / weight convertor, it didn’t require any tables. Trying to find out more about VBA I flicked through a book called ‘Microsoft Access for Dummies’ but the section was too short to be useful. I eventually learned most of my coding from the Access help files in Microsoft Access 2003 as I didn’t have access to the internet at the time.

I moved onto making a database for a self-employed family member and a small community library. Looking back on them it’s embarrassing (Luckily no one else can see the code), but I learn with every project I take on, and you have to start somewhere.

Having access to the internet now is great; I couldn’t come across many books on VBA. This site seems to be really helpful so I thought I’d sign up
Greetings 

Additionally, if books aren’t your thing, one of our members has provided a series of YouTube videos: “Better VBA”.

Perfect for those who want to learn and are not afraid to get under the hood. Here is the first one:

Thanks for the warm welcome people, and for posting those links NauticalGent.
I was reading the third book of 'The 100' series but it’s going to have to wait until I finish that pdf file you sent :)
I'm watching those YouTube videos now, it’s great to finally find a place where people discuss this type of stuff.
