I am newish to VBA and Access. I went to school for software engineer but ended up with more of a scripting job, working with Access and SQL. I am finding that I am more fixing old VBA code than creating anything new as the code has broken or been out dated. Never really used modules and VBA is different enough from any languages I have used that I do not understand the lingo.

Thanks! Thinking about taking a Udemy course on some VBA to get a better understanding of some of this code. Just havent had time with all the items that need to be updated or fixed

Glad you dropped by, Warreno. VBA by itself is very much like "traditional" BASIC with the addition of object properties and methods, which is more of an object-oriented programming issue. And of course, part of the problem is that it isn't a stand-alone product. It works in conjunction with the "hosting" app such as Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. It is the "app" that provides the A in VBA.

I think the way it operates is what confuses me. I am used to just building a program from scratch. The interaction of other programs with the coding and terminology is taking some getting used to.
