Using VBA in Access

VBA in Access

Home

Here I have designed a simple program using Microsoft Access, The program simple uses the computer clock to generate a clock telling the user how long the computer as been on and how long the application as been running. The email feature launches Microsoft Outlook also inputting the email address given in the email text box.

The below image shows the program running -

The program as been designed by using the standard forms provided in the Microsoft Access program. To create a new form I first selected forms from the menu in access this can be seen below –

One of the main tasks involved in this program is setting the properties for each object on the form. Again this is done as normal by right clicking on the object and selecting properties. The image to the side shows the properties of the email text box. A value that I have set here is the default value, this will be displayed when the program is running. The form will be added in the form  object.
