It seems like this whole VB code thing is mostly about Access database structure. Please some one tell me if this VB code thing much more than fancy creation for that Access database.

I know that you can create code for Excel as well, so my big question is: Am I suppose to be changing the way things “look” and work in these Microsoft applications?




Thank you
Don

Well, those applications (Access and Excel) provide us the ability to customize them, like adding user forms etc. They even allow us to use them without the user knowing they're actually using them (via com).
There's one good reason why you could change it, and that is because you might want to have better control over the situation. Sometimes it just isn't enough to let the user browse a table directly, in most cases we don't even want that.
Since VBA is supported everywhere in Office, I wouldn't say it's just to fancy your application, it's there to build an application
