This book is really great!

I've been trying to learn programming now for about 7 years. Actually I started trying to learn exactly 20 years ago. I just never could figure it out. Now that I've worked through the first 10 chapters of this great book, I'm doing all sorts of things, I wrote an access basic double line word wrap module, as well as a module that interprets musical signs for input into MUP (a really great program...). I also wrote code to calculate totals for expenses in different categories and currencies as well as mileage calculation, which was impossible to do with the normal report tools. I've also written code for inputting a ms-directory listing (print to file) and outputting a file path and filename, which can then be imported and made into functional links. I've also written code to generate numbers (to print labels of consecutive numbers) and I wrote the code faster than I could have done it for example with excel. I highly recommend this book for anybody who wants to do programming and just can't seem to figure it out. Of course if you do have a knack for programming, you'll learn all sorts of neat tricks, I found this book very inspiring. And even then, I only have Access97, and was still able to adapt it (since it is written for Access2000) and the adapting was very little problem. I'm sure his new book for Access2002 will be just as good!
