[AccessD] OT? Getting Started

David:

I was in the same position when I joined the list.  Now I are almost a real
programmer.

Get the Access Developer's Handbook (Getz, Litwin, et al).  That's the only
advice I can give you at the moment.  It's the best reference book I know
of.

I also used Balter's book Mastering Access Development - very good, plain
language, tutorial, learned a LOT from her.

I've seen sent back and forth on here over the past 2 days, I'm nowhere near
the same level/class of programmers that y'all are. In fact, the database
that I've built for the section of the company I work for has expanded to a
level way over my head and GanCom has been called in to help rebuild it,
probably in Access03. I know VERY little about module programming/VB. While
I am sure y'all are a great resource and I would definitely ask questions in
the future when I get stuck, I need some help with the basics. What kind of
resources should I be looking at to get started? From what the GanCom rep
said when he was here, they'll do the rebuild, then hand it back to me. I'd
like to be on my way of being able to do some if not all of the future work
on my own instead of outsourcing it to someone else. Due to my being on the
