  3. A Look at the IDEGet Set Up Properly Customize your buttonbar Bookmarks help finding code Indents help code appearance Comments help remembering code

  4. Essential IDE SkillsForm Class Object Modules • These modules are created for you • They are containers for Form-based procedures • Procs in one Form Module are invisible to another form • Event procedures in a Form Class Module can be edited • Cannot test these procs in the IDE • Run the Form in Access to test procs in a Form Class Module

  7. Creating code in the IDEEditing a Function Typing MID( is enough to activate Auto Quick with handy argument reminders

  8. Testing code in the IDEStandard Module (modUtilities) Test single statements Test procedures
