Do you have an outline for the upcoming Access 2013 Advanced and Developer classes available? Also, when will you talk about Macros? Thank you.

Reply from Richard Rost:

I have a ROUGH outline that's not really fit for publishing. I will be basically following the same general steps that I took before in the 2003 series, but I'll be adding, moving, and expanding material as needed.

Half the time I don't know exactly what I'm going to be covering until I start recording that class. When I sit down and watch the 2003 videos while preparing to record the new ones, I sometimes go, "no... that could be better" and I rearrange everything. For example, I just pulled a bunch of macro material OUT of the Expert 4 and 5 outlines because I'm moving it to the Advanced lessons... but I added in some extra cool stuff that I didn't cover before.

I'm also going to be adding some new lessons to the Expert courses that I didn't have the first time around... like a more in-depth look at functions. So, all I can say at this point is that I don't have a set outline because the material that I cover is really pretty fluid. What I cover 3 lessons from now may be different based on how the next 2 lessons go.

I've covered a TINY bit on macros already (just modifying some of the embedded macros that Access creates for you) but the ADVANCED classes will go into MACROS and EVENTS in detail, and then the DEVELOPER lessons will go into VBA programming. It's basically a split up division of my late 200- and 300-level classes from the 2003 series... fine tuned for Access 2013.
