 Access VBA - Good place to start??

http://www.*-*-*.com/ ; This may not be exactly what your looking for but
is probable the most posted web site in access newsgroups.  Access
Developers Handbook is a good resource.  Access VBA 2000, 2002 book is
pretty good for a start.  If you use the macros in access note that you can
convert these to VB through tools\macro on the menu.

PS. There is no "Record Macro" function in Access. If you're going to
use code -- and it is hard to avoid this unless you are doing _very_
basic stuff with a database -- then you have to write it from scratch.
(Or borrow it from any of the public sources such as the site mentioned
below.)
