Where to start?

Comming from a c++ background, I am unfamiliar with programming in VBA.
However I have the need to create a subroutine that takes information from a
subform (in access), compares the data with data held in a table and prints
appropriate information to a report. Could anyone give me some pointers as
to where I should start looking and wether or not this is feasable for a
beginer. (I have ordered a couple of books that should hopefully arrive
soon!)

Thank you
