Although you can create a simple Microsoft Access application without writing a line of code, if you want to create a more sophisticated application, you’ll want to learn to write Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code. You can create tables, queries, forms, and reports using the Access interface, with the help of wizards if you want, but an effective application needs more than a bunch of database objects. Many forms and reports, in particular, need some code on their events so that your application’s components can interact smoothly with each other.
