VBA vs. VB

I want to step into VBA world to be a little bit more proficient with my Access skills but I do not seem to find a campus class that teaches straight VBA, I know there is many books to teach yourself VBA, SQL etc. but it would still be nice to attend a community college class, anyways; Does anybody know if by learning straight Visual Basic its going to be beneficial in learning VBA?

I took a VB class a few years back and used my laptop with only Access
loaded. I could create and run much of the same code as was being taught in
VB. However, the forms and controls have different properties etc.

I teach two 3 day classroom VBA classes in Access. If you can get to Denver,
I assure you it will be worth your time.

See http://www.scobiz.com/Classes/Access/AccessClasses.asp.

BTW, in the future, please "plain text" and not RTF/HTML when posting in
these newsgroups. It is a terrible waste of bandwidth. Although this was a
short message, it was still twice the size it needed to be.

Houston to Denver, let me see, a little bit far.You got any relatives in
Houston that you may visit once in awhile? I will take you to lunch, "lunch
and learn".
Thanks a lot, anyways.

You'd have to buy some pretty serious lunches Manuel! :)

Besides, Huston is just down the street. :)

To be serious, I've had people in the states come from as far away as
Atlanta.

And around the globe I actually had a student come from Jersey Island. (It's
a little speck in the English channel between England and France.)

They've all thought it was worth the travel.

Besides, Denver is a pretty place with the mountains just off to the west!
