vba & access 2002 / 2003

[phillip9]

Hello,

Is there any difference or much of a difference between VBA in Access 2002
and the VBA in Access 2003?

I ask because I just got an internship doing Access programming in Access
2002 and some friends bought me a few books for Access 2003 VBA. (oops)

thanks,

phil

They are near enough to identical.

Naturally you will find that the new features in A2003 don't show up in your
copy of A2002, but the Visual Basic language and the libraries are so much
the same that you will not have a problem.

Do you know if there are any other major differencies - most books seem to be
for A2003.

About the only significant difference that I'm aware of have to do
with linking to (or importing, or exporting) XML data. If you're not
using XML (or, even more so, if you only vaguely recognize the term)
then I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
