Getting Started: Microsft Access HELP!

OK. So I have NO idea what I'm doing. I've only worked with Excel VBA, JS, and HTML. No clue how to use access since it's different (except maybe the VB portion of Excel VBA).

I'm trying to make a login form with the standard txtUser txtPassword
lblUser lbl Password, a reset button a cancel button and a login button.
This part, pretty easy, Now, need the Visual Basic portion of it to reflect the Access portion of it. I honestly have no idea on how to set up a database using Access and have no idea doing string searches within Access using VB. :*(
Can anybody help me? I'm sure this has been answered plenty of times, but I dont have the time to look through all 617 pages of posts.

We don't do full database design here; that's not what the site is about! Nor do we conduct "MS Access Classes: From A to Z." We're here to provide members with help on specific problems they're having with database development. If you need help with a particular problem in code or technique, please feel free to ask. You can also use our Search function to look for a certain subjects. Answers for specific questions posted may well include some code samples for illustration purposes that you may even find you can use, but it will not just be done for you.

Please take the time to read the Posting Guidelines.

Here's some sites, listed from the easiest to understand to the more difficult, with excellent tutorials on Access/Access VBA:

Chrystal has an excellent “basics” tutorial:
http://www.accessmvp.com/strive4peace

This is a little more advanced, but still a great starting point, having 23 well written, well defined, clearly named chapters:

Linq,
Thats pretty much all I needed.. ie. reference guides. I didn't expect anyone to help me with the entire project and it would be rude of me to ask. The links should be enough to help me get started. I appreciate the help.

I am looking to learn VB.net. I have been programming in VB6 for about 3 years but have not done much Object Oriented Programming. I know VB.Net is much different from VB6, so my question is, what would be the best way to get started? Would it be better to learn some of the principles of OOP before diving into VB.Net? Could anyone recommend any good books or web sites to help me get started. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to scope a MS Access project and was looking for some advise. Will VB programming/ experience be required to build out something like the Northwinds sample database? We'd like a DB system to manage member records, their administrators and to query for random mailings/results. Does Access 07 have easy ways to generate individual or group mailings? Will RAND and SELECT WHERE SQL statements be enough for random sampling or...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
