Access Developer Courses

After you've finished the Beginner, Expert, and Advanced series, move up to the Developer series to learn how to super-charge your databases. This is the pinnacle of my Microsoft Access training and is where we unlock the true power of Access with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Here you'll learn how to automate tasks, build custom interfaces, create reusable code, work with recordsets, manipulate files, integrate with other Office applications, customize ribbons and menus, build complex business systems, and solve real-world problems that simply can't be accomplished with tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and events alone. These lessons are designed to teach you how to think like a professional developer, not just how to write code. Whether you're building a database for yourself, your business, or your clients, the Developer series will give you the tools and techniques needed to transform Microsoft Access from a database application into a complete custom software development platform.
