Best place to learn VBA?

Don't know if those of you who answer the questions are paid or not -
but much thanks for your help! It's well appreciated.

It seems that the more I read about ACCESS online and in books, the
more I realize it's way more effecient to learn VBA.

So, any ideas/recommendations where to start? Free online sources?
Good books?

Thanks!

Good one! Deep chuckle. I don't know what motivates people to post
responses to messages. I suggest it's the old user-group motto
"users-helping-users".

I recommend the MS Step-By-Step book(s). They are worthless unless you
are willing to do the exercises as they are learning by doing types, not
reading and comprehending. You won't be an expert after completing it
but you'll be proficient enough to put some things together. Then hang
out here and start reading the messages daily. A wealth of info is
contained in these messages. And use GoogleGroups since many of us have
been there/done that. See
http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en. In the group box I
usually enter *Access* and then the keywords I'm searching for to only
return answers from those using MSAccess.

Another place is http://www.mvps.org/access for code examples.
