If you’re looking for really great Microsoft Access VBA training Heathrow you’re in the right place.

Companies large and small choose us – why? Your own tailored, Microsoft Access VBA training course, at your own premises at the same price as a standard course from elsewhere.

When working with a Microsoft Access database becomes repetitive, it makes sense to create a macro to automate the task. Whilst you can use built-in wizards to create simple macros, if you want to create complex macros in Microsoft Access then using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) will enable you to program your own. This course is designed to teach you how.

Access VBA Training Overview

Microsoft Access is a Database Management System (DBMS) that you can use to store, query and report on your data.

Using Access ‘out of the box’ can be a powerful tool but to make the most of your investment you will no doubt benefit from making use of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a programming language which can be used to build your own applications.

Within this Integrated Development Environment (VBA is part of the Microsoft Office suite so no additional software is required) you create ‘macros’ which are step-by-step procedures written in Visual Basic. These procedures can then be run, triggered, by actions through the forms and reports events.

No previous programming experience is required. Our course will introduce you to coding by example and will demonstrate how to use VBA to interact with Access so you can automate and simplify complex tasks with a relatively small amount of code. You will also find having learned VBA within one Microsoft Office application you can apply your knowledge throughout the Office suite.

Prerequisites

A good working knowledge of Access allows the delegates to gain the maximum from this course.

As we mention above; no previous programming experience is required.
