Computers form a very essential part of our lives. They are used in communication, relaxation, typing, printing and performing other tasks. To perform all these tasks, the computers are installed with software and programs that are specifically designed for each purpose. These programs and software are normally designed by expert programmers using different programming languages and applications. An example of these programmers is a Microsoft Access programmer. Programming in access usually entails adding more functions to a database. The programmer normally creates a procedure using macros or Visual Basic Applications (VBA) and attaches it to a control or object. When a certain event takes place this code is executed. Examples of such an event include clicking, opening or typing a command on the object or control. These events are usually specified in the properties of the objects and controls that are used. It has several objects. The most common ones are forms and reports. It also provides the programmer with controls such as command buttons and labels which assist him or her to design a good user interface. Programmers usually have to decide whether to use macros or visual basic when creating a program using this platform. When one uses VBA, they have to write the code in the visual basic application. They also use visual basic objects and controls to create the user interface and use a database to store data. The other choice is the macro. It is normally integrated in the Access application and it is easy to use. It does not require one to learn visual basic code since it provides a structured interface and preprogrammed objects and controls. It also has actions which are much easier and efficient to use. As much as Microsoft access is a database application software, it also provides an easy platform through which one can create a program. This makes it the ideal platform for use by starters.
