Guys, I am new to MS Access. I am interested to write code in Access. I
am not familiar with VB as well. I have average expertise in C++ and
..NET framework too. Could you give tips how can I be a professional in
writing VBA code.

Many thanks in advance!!

Same way you become an expert in any other field - learn the technology and use it regularly. A lot of basic programming
skills that you have from your other languages will serve you well in the VB/VBA world, but there are also a lot of
differences to take into account.

There are many books on the subject, too many to list. And while VBA is very similar between programs, there are many
differences ... for example, the Excel VBA model contains functions which don't exist in Access, and "classic" VB6's VBA
environment contains functions that don't exist in Access or Excel. Of course, books only take you so far, the simplest
and easiest way is to start with the sample DBs that ship with Access, or take advantage of the templates and sampels
available from the Microsoft Access website:

Many people start learning VBA with Access, since it's the most similar to VB6, and the move is pretty easy once you
have become proficient in Access. Choose your target platform, and head that way.

Good Luck!!
Many thanks in advance!!
