Book Description

What is this book about?

Access 2000 is an important part of the Office 2000 program suite, and is available on both the Premium and Professional editions of Office 2000. Access has traditionally been the Office suite database program par excellence. It still remains that way, but with Office 2000 the face of Access is changing. This book will look at the traditional role of Access and its future uses in the Office suite.

Using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the user can program his or her own programs in what is essentially a subset of the Visual Basic programming languages. This is tremendously powerful, as it allows you to create great User Interfaces (forms etc), as a front end to actual database storage and manipulation. This continues to be one of the great strengths of programming Access VBA.

This book updates, expands and improves Beginning Access 97 VBA Programming, in an Office 2000 setting. All the great tutorial content, teaching people how to program with VBA in Access is there, but now majorly rewritten to take account of Office 2000.

  • Updated to take account of the Office 2000 facilities
  • Constructs a substantial example application with VBA
  • Database theory taught in the Wrox Beginning style

What does this book cover?

In this book, you will learn how to

  • Construct a substantial example application with VBA
  • Master the foundations of Visual Basic for Applications
  • Understand the concepts behind classes and objects
  • Understand how Automation can be used to link Office applications
  • Create custom objects using the Class Module feature
  • Debug your programs and implement robust error handling
  • Add support for multiple users
  • Publish your Access database on the Internet
  • Optimize and add polish to your finished database application

Who is this book for?

This book is for users who already have a basic knowledge of databases and the basic Access objects, such as tables, queries, forms and reports. You now want to expand on your existing knowledge of Access and wish to learn how to program in VBA. You don't need any prior programming experience, although a basic knowledge of Access macros would be helpful.

From the Publisher

This book is for the Access user who already has a knowledge of databases, and the basic objects of an Access database, who now wants to learn how to program with VBA. No need of prior knowledge of programming required. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Good But Not For Absolute Beginners, Mar 6 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Access 2000 VBA (Paperback)
This is a solid book, nicely written, and the authors have obviously put a lot of thought and good effort into it. However, in it's introduction, the authors advise that you don't really need to know anything about programming in order to understand the book. In my experience that's not correct. While a beginner can understand parts of the book, you soon get the feeling that you are in over your head. It gets into fairly complex code quite quickly. It would be a great book if you are taking a class or have a teacher to explain the parts that need clarification. But for a beginner like myself trying to learn VBA on my own, it's too much too soon. Another thing that this book (or any book) could do to help you learn is provide a lot of problems at the end of each chapter for you to try and apply what you learned, sort of the way we learned algebra in high school.

Evan Callahan's Book, Step By Step Microsoft Access VBA is a much more basic beginner's book. It takes you by the hand and gets you writing code quickly. It does not take you very far into VBA, but does get you going.

The next book I'd recommend is VBA Handbook by Susan Novalis. It's a much more gentle intro than is Sussman's book. In fact, after you learn Novalis' book you will probably be ready for Sussman's book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice follow up to Access 97 VBA, Jan 3 2002
By 
Craig Willford "kregerator" (St Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beginning Access 2000 VBA (Paperback)
I previously bought Access 97 VBA and recently ran into problems in Access 2000. After realizing that I was lost just enough to do damange to myself and my job, I bought this book. It explains the differences between ADO and DAO, which was the cause of most of my troubles, very well. As was the case with the 97 version, the examples clearly show how to do most of the things that I wanted to accomplish. This is listed as a beginning book but I think I'd recommend having some programming experience first. This is a nice companion to the 97 version or just a good place to start in on extending the functionality of Access 2000 with VBA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful guide to improve skills, Nov 7 2001
By 
This review is from: Beginning Access 2000 VBA (Paperback)
This book can really improve your skills in vba if you're new to it; it is the book to own to start programming with VBA.
it is assumed that you have some base knowledge on database and Access objects but nothing more; even power users will find some interesting tips.
Very well written.
