Where can I find info on how to reference in vba?

158 100+
I have been trying to build a database for the past year and time after time I always end up with the same problem. I can never write the right combination of reference for a control or a form or a subform and so forth. is there a link somewhere where it would teach me how to reference properly in VBA? thanks

The Access Help system gives lots of examples of how to reference various properties of controls and forms etc.

A very good book is the Access Developers Handbook by Litwin, Gitz and Gilbert

We have an Insights article on Referring to items on a subform which may help you to understand how to write subform control references in VBA.
