[AccessD] VBE

Susan,

 Charles and Charlotte are correct.  A2 was Access Basic and was still
written mostly in Assembler.  VBA was introduced in A95, continued through
A97.  The VBA in Access was not the same as in Word and Excel.  VBE was
introduced with A2000 and up, and is the same flavor of VBA for all Office
Products.

 I have all versions of Access installed currently (including 1.1).  If you
need any screen shots, let me know.

That's probably it Charlotte -- the switch from AB to VBA -- I expect that's
what I'm thinking of.
