VB Soup to Nuts:vb.net application, vb.net treeview, vb.net controls, vb.net example, vb.net print
I had stumbled across Lynda.com many times before, but never stopped to try it out. I recently took the plunge and started using Lynda.com to help me improve my javascript skills (See Javascript Essential Training 2007 by Dori Smith). It has revolutionized my understanding of the language! I love the fact that the exercise files allow you to follow along in real time with what the instructor is saying. Learning by doing is an extremely powerful technique. I have to give the site an A+ for both quality and content.
I am planning on using Lynda Videos to help me improve in:
- HTML
- CSS
- Classic ASP
- .NET (included in ASP section)
- AJAX
- Silverlight (in Microsoft Section)
- SharePoint (in Microsoft Section)
- Web Design
- Blogging
- SEO
- and much more

Hello, I have built 4 Access databases, 1 being a Major project that I ran my entire company from for 14 years, I tracked work in process incoming raw inventory, time spent on all jobs, etc… Now as I said, I built the tables reports forms, queries, I wrote most of my own expressions either in the queries or reports or forms.
BUT when It came to the "Trick Stuff", What I call the "Magic behind the buttons" I had to hire a local programmer at $100.00 and hour. What I am looking for in, either your program or another is to learn how to "Put the Magic behind the buttons".
I know this is VBA and/or SQL.
The best way for me to learn is, 1) I encounter a problem, "I am starting a new day at work, I open my MS app, Splash screen opens, switchboard opens, Now I want to see All the new orders to "Automatically" pop open on a form that shows all new orders "That need material ordered for them yet"
HOW Do I Make This Happen????????? … Using VBA and or SQL?
What I am saying is I need a problem 1st (to Understand and “Applicable solution”, Most classes, videos give you all kinds of “Solutions” without ANY examples as to how to apply them.
I need practble working applications to work with so I can learn the VBA and SQL needed
Can you help me in getting the “Magic behind the buttons”?
Any and ALL Help is GREATLY APPREACEATED
