Re: VB programming guides or books

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

HI Doug,
I went to the web site below and took a look at all of the books that they
have to offer.
I have "Access 2003" installed on my machine and am running Windows XP Home
edition.

They listed a few books and sets and I am not sure which one would be the
best for me.

1- VBA Developers Handbook
2- Access 2000 and VB Language Developers set
3- Visual Basic Developers Handbook
4- Access 2000 Developers Handbook set

I should let you know that I know very little about writing VB Code (VBA).
Most of the code I have entered I have gotten from people that have a lot of
experience writing code so I guess I would need something that would start me
out at the basic level.

That is why I am writing for help most books that I have found don't include
some sort of basic level training.

Any help you can give me would be great.

Thanks
Bill_De

I am trying to find a good book/manual on VB programming. I have the Access
Bible but the section on VB does not go into a lot of detail. I would like
to
learn more about writing code.
For example I was working on a data base and wanted to update one subform
while in another. I got the answer from someone in the discussion group
but
could not find the code for recalculating in the Access bible.

There are so many books on the market and I don't want to keep buy books
and
finding out I have the wrong ones.

If anyone knows a good book on learning VB code/programming please advise.

Thank you
Bill_De
